Court sends Timileyin Ajayi to prison for killing girlfriend, Salome Enejo

On Monday, January 27, 2025, a Nasarawa State High Court remanded Timileyin Ajayi in a correctional facility after he was charged with the killing of his 24-year-old girlfriend, Salome Enejo.

Ajayi, whose address was not provided, faced charges of culpable homicide. The case was brought before Justice Simon Aboki in Lafia, where Ajayi pleaded not guilty to the charges.

State Counsel Stanley Ifeanyi informed the court that Ajayi had killed Enejo, a member of the National Youth Service Corps, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). He also pointed out that the crime violated Section 221 of the Penal Code Law of Northern Nigeria, which carries a potential death sentence.

Justice Aboki remanded Ajayi at the Lafia Custodial Centre and set the next court date for March 17, 2025. The judge assured the public that the case would receive an accelerated hearing due to its serious and sensitive nature.
