The suspect narrated that the 24-year-old National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who was serving at Nicon Insurance in Abuja, was murdered when she visited him at his house in the Papalana axis at New Karshi in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
Temileyin affirmed to reporters that he killed Salome with objects sourced from inside his kitchen but that the act was not pre-planned.
“I killed her because we don’t have each other all the time, it’s not something I planned. It happened on that day and it happened. Not that I have the plan in mind, she was cheating.
“She hides most of the things from me most times. I got to know from her phone. I saw her chats with other guys on the phone, that was why I decided,” he said.
When asked if he was ready to face the wrath of the law, Temileyin replied that “it was not a big play,” adding that he came out in broad daylight because he wanted to get caught, “there are better ways to do,” he said.
“I don’t have any regrets because life is reciprocal, that is what I thought. If you must do something to someone, you have to be reciprocal with that person. You have to understand what that person is going through so that you can actually put yourself in the position that the person is going through, that is why I don’t have any regrets because we were actually compatible,” he added.
Meanwhile, Salome’s elder sister, Esther Adaidu denied knowledge of any relationship between the deceased Temileyin.
“This so-called Timi guy, we don’t know him. We have never seen him until we were called up to tell us that this guy murdered and dismembered our sister.
“I demand and need justice to be served to this guy sitting over there because he is the one that murdered my sister and he confirmed it to me.”
Salome’s uncle, Samson Adaji Adaidu, who disclosed that the deceased was dismembered into over 50 pieces, expressed that the family was in dire need of justice.
“The position of the family is we discovered this through the Nigerian Police and we are expecting justice from the police,” he said.
“He has succeeded in destroying our daughter, not ordinary killing, he butchered her into pieces. He cut that body into more than 50 pieces and when you look at the whole thing, he is preparing that body for consumption because he cut them and left them in about six polythene bags.”
Speaking on the development, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Nasarawa State Command, SP Ramhan Nansel, assured that justice will be served.
“Investigation is ongoing, and upon conclusion of the investigation, 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.
“He will be charged to court for prosecution. We are calling on members of the public who may have any complaints against the suspect to come forward with their complaints and it will be looked into and investigated,” the PPRO stated.
