A shocking incident occurred on Sunday at a church in Orozo, a community on the border of Abuja and Nasarawa State, where a gospel singer, Oluwatimileyin Ajayi, was arrested with the decapitated head of his girlfriend in a polybag.
According to Caleb Umaru, the church’s Bible Study Teacher and General Secretary, “It was almost the end of service around 11 am during the final pledge and prayers. A church member, Bro Victor, opened his eyes during prayers and saw someone passing by the river close to the church, carrying a bag and his movement was suspicious.”
Ajayi was caught by church members and bikemen, who confronted him about the contents of the bag. He initially denied any wrongdoing but later confessed to killing his girlfriend after a dispute over her infidelity.
“It took the grace of God for the four of them to be able to catch him,” Umaru said. “The guy was injured and was already weak and couldn’t talk, and still, no one knew what was in the bag.”
The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the community, with many expressing outrage and sadness over the brutal crime.
The police officer asked him how long he had been dating the lady, and he said, “Like a year.”
Umaru further explained that the suspect was asked why he had knife cuts on his hand and he said he had an argument with his girlfriend.
Umaru said the suspect narrated that he collected her phone and saw she was chatting with another guy and they started dragging the phone and the girlfriend used a knife to cut his hand which led to the injury.
“He said he collected the knife and stabbed her in the neck,” Umaru said.
