The latest information on the arrest in Abuja involving a gospel singer with severed head centres around Oluwatimileyin Ajayi, a gospel singer, who was arrested on January 12, 2025, after allegedly being found with the severed head of his girlfriend. Here’s a summary:
Ajayi was apprehended near a church in Orozo, Abuja, after being seen with a black nylon bag from which flies were emerging.
Inside the bag was the severed head of his girlfriend, whom he had reportedly been dating for a year. The arrest was made following an intelligence tip-off, which led to an uncompleted building in Agwan Sarki Orozo, Nasarawa state, near Abuja.
Oluwatimileyin Ajayi is described as not only a gospel singer but also a motivational speaker, songwriter, and fitness enthusiast. He released an album titled ‘God of the Earth’ in 2020.
The incident was confirmed by both social media users and police officials, although there’s some discrepancy on the exact location, with some reports stating it occurred in Nasarawa State rather than directly in Abuja.
Posts on X have highlighted the shock and horror of the incident, with some users commenting on the irony of a gospel singer being involved in such a crime.
Discussions have also touched on the broader issue of ritual killings in Nigeria.
There are mentions of other dismembered parts being recovered from Ajayi’s residence, suggesting a more extensive crime scene than initially reported.
This case has stirred significant public interest and discussion, especially given the contrast between Ajayi’s public persona as a gospel singer and the gruesome nature of the allegations against him.
The investigation is presumably ongoing, with more details expected to emerge as the legal process unfolds.
