Man living close to gospel singer speaks
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a man who lives close to gospel singer Oluwatimileyin Ajayi had shared things people don’t know about the murder incident.
According to the man, Salome and the gospel singer had been seen together about six times in the area and patronised a particular joint he refrained from naming.
He accused Salome’s family members of lying about her relationship with the gospel singer. He said that some of Salome’s body parts were missing.
