On Sunday, January 12, 2025, Oluwatimileyin, a gospel singer, fitness enthusiast, and content creator who motivates his followers on social media, was caught with a sac containing the severed head of Salome near a church in Orozo, a border town between Nasarawa and Abuja.
After his arrest, he led police to the remaining parts of Salome’s body which had been chopped up into small bits.
He was detained and charged with one count of culpable homicide contrary to Section 221 of the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria and punishable by death.
