Speaking in a video aired by Channels Television, Ajayi detailed his actions and the alleged reasons behind them.
“I killed her because we don’t have each other all the time. It wasn’t something I planned; it just happened that day,” Ajayi stated. He also accused Salome of infidelity, alleging he found incriminating chats with other men on her phone.
In a disturbing twist, Ajayi expressed no regret for his actions. “Life is reciprocal,” he said, justifying his crime by suggesting their relationship was marked by mutual incompatibility. “If you must do something to someone, you have to be reciprocal with that person. That is why I don’t have any regrets because we were actually compatible.”
