The family of late Salome, who was brutally murdered by Timileyin Ajayi, has been demanding that the suspect face justice. 

According to a video posted by Channels TV, the area around Timileyin's home, where the crime was committed, where Salome is said to have been killed, has been quiet. He severed her head and dismembered her body part before he was nabbed.

The compound has three flats. Timileyin lived in one of the flats. The compound is now deserted because his neighbors have vacated the premises. 

Even the neighborhood is extremely quiet, and everyone is terrified. Timileyin's neighbors only knew him as a young man living alone.

"The only thing I know is he's a solo person. I don't see him with friends; each time he passes by my house, he greets me, and I greet him, and that is it."

"So for me, he has a deceptive look; let me just put it that way. For someone who has the heart to do what he did means that you don't really judge people by just looking at them," a neighbor said.

Timileyin's parents and other siblings live in a community where his mother and father, an elderly couple, are still dealing with the tragedy that occurred in their peaceful neighborhood.

While his father, Sunday Ajayi, begs on his behalf, the family insists that Timileyin, one of three children, was not disowned. His mother, Dorcas Ajayi, has decided to leave the situation to the police.

She said, "Had it been it's was one of my daughters they did that one to, how do I feel ma? You know. So I don't know. Anything the government wants to do, everything is in the government's hands."

The Nigerian police and authorities maintain that investigations are ongoing while the Nasarawa state government is promising to ensure that the perpetrator is brought to book.
