The Salome Adaidu case is no longer in the hands of her family; it is now a case against Timileyin Ajayi and the state. When you take a life, it is called murder, and only the state has the authority to handle murder cases.
Those worried about the case being bungled should remain calm—the state cannot afford to fail, especially with the overwhelming evidence at hand. The state does not need additional exhibits; the mutilated body of Salome is enough to send the cold-blooded killer, Timileyin, to the gallows.
For those concerned about the family’s media outbursts, there is no cause for alarm. A sordid incident like this demands sustained media outrage. Such attention ensures that justice is pursued swiftly. The family is understandably distraught, and it would be unfair to dictate how they express their anguish over the gruesome and inhuman murder of their daughter.
To those peddling the baseless hypothesis that Salome cheated on Timileyin—so what? Is the punishment for infidelity death? And not just death, but the brutal dismemberment of a human being into unrecognizable pieces? Timileyin cannot escape the law—whether human justice or natural retribution. He has an inevitable appointment with death. If not now, then certainly later.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that the gruesome murder of Salome Adaidu is a national concern; on no account should her death be reduced to any political squabble. Those ironing their swords of attrition should pipe low; the death of any human being is a loss to humanity regardless of tribe, race, or religion.
Killer Timileyin will face the full wrath of the law regardless of who pontificates in condolences or condemnation.
The people who are trying to make political gains out of this sad incident should desist. One must not come to the public arena just to acknowledge sympathy. If your visit to the Adaidus’ is not to calm them down but to fetch political water, please stay away from the grieving family.

At this juncture, the focus must remain on ensuring that justice prevails and that such heinous crimes are condemned universally. Media attention should not wane until there is a decisive and just judicial verdict. This is not a time for ethnic or political agendas but rather for all people, regardless of their affiliations, to rally behind the principles of humanity, justice, and accountability. Salome’s death should serve as a wake-up call to society about the consequences of unchecked violence and the urgent need for systemic interventions to prevent future tragedies.
Ultimately, justice is not just a promise—it is an obligation. All eyes must remain firmly fixed on the case to ensure that the system delivers the justice Salome Adaidu deserves. It is soothing seeing relevant authorities taking keen interest in the case, the governor of Nasarawa State,Engr Abdullahi Sule and the Women Affairs Minister, Hajia Iman Suleiman are poised stoically to ensure justice is served. This is the commitment expected and not the coloration of political leaning being bandied by some jobbers.
And the plea by Mr Ajayi, Timileyin ‘s father seeking for pardon for his killer son is not only insensitive but an affront to human meekness. The man seem pained his son is cooling off under the roof of law but dead inhuman to Salome’s mother who will never see her daughter again. A good man with a pricked conscience would have tasked the law to take its course, sadly, he is heartbroken he is losing a killer son. Until we have a people who condemns evil,we continue to have many Timileyin around.
Until then, one thing is certain, Salome Adaidu who was beheaded and dismembered by killer Timileyin Ajayi will have justice even though in absentia and Timileyin will face the consequences of his heinous murder.
Sadly musing!
