Ojomachenwu Adaidu, mother of Salome Adaidu, has recounted her last moment with her daughter who Oluwatimileyin Ajayi allegedly murdered.

Salome, 24, was a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member serving with Nicon Insurance in Abuja.

She was said to have visited Ajayi at his residence in Papalana, New Karshi in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State before her death.

Ajayi was found on Sunday trying to dispose of her body.

Speaking recently with BBC Pidgin, mother of the deceased said: “I called her on Saturday and asked where she was. She told me she was washing clothes. I then asked if she was washing the clothes alone. She said yes and added that the firstborn child was in the living room cleaning it.

“She also told me that once she finished, she planned to go to the place where she does her NYSC training. Maybe it was from that training that this incident happened because the bag she took to the training was the same one the police brought, which I saw on Monday.”

The grieving mother demanded justice for her daughter.

“Maybe on her way to the place, she entered a ‘one-chance’ (a kind of scam often involving public transport), or someone used medicine (voodoo) on her because she doesn’t have friends like that. I want justice for my child,” she said.

Public Relations Officer of the Nasarawa State Police Command, SP Ramhan Nansel, earlier assured that the law would take its course.

“Investigation is ongoing and upon conclusion, he will be arraigned in court for prosecution. I want to assure the family and members of the public that this suspect will not be spared if found wanting,” Nansel said.
