While Salome’s family continues to grieve, Ajayi’s father is pleading for his release. He made the request during an interview with Channels Television.
“I want the government to help me so that the matter is settled. I want them to help me beg so that he is released, he said.
However, the mother said she has left everything for the government to handle.
‘”If it was one of my daughters they did that to, how would I feel?” She asked.
“So government can do anything they want to do. Everything is in their hands.” She concluded
Ajayi, a TikTok motivational speaker, confessed to perpetrating the crime during his interrogation.
In a viral video, he claimed to have had a one-year relationship with Adaidu before her death.
