Tragedy has struck the gospel music community as Timileyin Ajayi, a popular 29-year-old gospel artist, has been confirmed dead while in police custody.

The shocking incident unfolded in the Orozo/Karshi area of Abuja, where Ajayi was apprehended by police. Authorities reportedly found him in possession of a polythene bag containing the severed head of Adaidu, a discovery that has sent shockwaves across the nation. Ajayi allegedly confessed to the crime shortly after his arrest.

Reports suggest that Ajayi sustained injuries during his initial arrest, with claims emerging that he was beaten by law enforcement officers. These injuries are believed to have contributed to his untimely death. An anonymous source revealed that Ajayi’s father, a local bricklayer, broke the devastating news to friends and neighbors.

The Nigerian Police Force has yet to issue an official statement confirming the exact cause of Ajayi’s death. Efforts to reach Force Public Relations Officer Olumuyiwa Adejobi for comments have been unsuccessful. However, police sources indicate that an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding Ajayi’s death in custody.

This tragic development raises critical questions about the handling of suspects during detention and the events leading to Ajayi’s demise. The public eagerly awaits further updates from the authorities as they continue their investigation.
