The High Court in Lafia, Nasarawa State, has sentenced Oluwatimileyin Ajayi, the individual accused of killing National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member Salome Adaidu, to death by hanging.
According to Channels TV, the presiding judge, Justice Simon Aboki, delivered the verdict on Thursday, finding Ajayi guilty of the brutal murder and dismemberment of the corps member.
Ajayi faced a single charge of “culpable homicide,” an offence under Section 221 of the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria, which carries the death penalty.
Justice Aboki ruled that the prosecution successfully proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, establishing Ajayi’s responsibility for the horrific act.
