A High Court sitting in Lafia, Nasarawa State, and presided over by Justice Simon Aboki, has sentenced Oluwatimileyin Ajayi to death by hanging for the murder of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Salome Adaidu.
Justice Aboki found Ajayi guilty of killing and dismembering the deceased, describing the act as brutal and in clear violation of the law.
Ajayi was tried on a one-count charge of culpable homicide, contrary to Section 221 of the Penal Code applicable in Northern Nigeria, which carries the death penalty.
The judgment brings closure to a case that sparked public outrage and calls for justice for the slain corps member.
