In a heartbreaking development, the father of gospel singer Timileyin Ajayi, who was arrested for the gruesome murder of his girlfriend Salome, has made a public appeal to the Nigerian government for his son’s release. The horrific case shook the nation last week when Timileyin was apprehended with the decapitated head of his girlfriend.
The grisly details revealed that he had dismembered her body into pieces, leaving the public and social media users in shock and disbelief. Speaking during a Channels TV interview, Timileyin’s father begged authorities to intervene and secure his son’s release. However, his plea was starkly contrasted by the response from Timileyin’s mother, who took a firm stance on justice. She expressed that the law should run its course, empathizing with the victim’s family by noting she would feel the same pain if such a tragedy had befallen one of her daughters.
The parents’ conflicting reactions sparked intense debate on social media. Many users criticized the father’s plea, with some calling for his investigation.
“Why then no arrest the papa join seff???” questioned user therealadesoji, while domingo_loso noted, “The mother is more reasonable and considerate than the Father.”
Other social media reactions reflected public outrage at the father’s request.
“Help you make the matter settle like how??” questioned creme03, while props_plaza remarked, “Such a shameless man, the father should be investigated too.”
