The nation has been left in shock following the chilling confession of gospel singer Timileyin Ajayi, who admitted to the brutal murder of 24-year-old Salome Enejo, a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member.

The horrifying crime, which involved beheading the young woman, reportedly stemmed from a dispute over ₦3,000. Ajayi's admission has ignited widespread outrage, with demands for justice growing louder by the day.

Enejo, a recent graduate completing her service year in Abuja, was identified as the victim of this heinous act. The Nasarawa State Police Command confirmed Ajayi's arrest after he was caught in Orozo, near Abuja, carrying a bag containing Enejo’s severed head. Investigators suspect the crime may have ritualistic undertones, adding another layer of horror to the case.

Social media platforms erupted as Nigerians expressed their disgust over Ajayi's claims. While the singer described Enejo as his girlfriend, her family strongly denied any romantic relationship between them. Speculations were further fueled by a Telegram post from Ajayi, where he reportedly invited women to a karaoke night, raising suspicions that he may have lured Enejo under false pretenses.

This gruesome murder has reignited conversations about the safety of women in Nigeria and the effectiveness of law enforcement in handling gender-based violence. Citizens are calling for thorough investigations, tougher penalties for perpetrators, and improved security measures to protect vulnerable groups.

Faith leaders have also come under scrutiny, with growing calls for more stringent vetting of individuals in religious roles. The shocking involvement of a gospel singer in such a crime has shaken many, prompting deeper reflection on trust and accountability within religious communities.

As the case unfolds, Nigerians are demanding swift justice for Salome Enejo and stronger action to prevent such atrocities in the future.
