A Nasarawa High court sitting in Lafia has admitted seven additional exhibits in the ongoing hearing into the death of Salome Adaidu, a female corps member allegedly killed by 32-year-old singer Oluwatimileyin Daniel Ajayi.
At the resumption of hearing on Tuesday, Justice Simon Aboki received the new exhibits as the prosecution counsel, Raymond Umaru, introduced two police officers as fresh witnesses.
The officers submitted key evidence, including a phone used to record six polythene bags containing the dismembered remains of the deceased, as well as her severed head—items reportedly discovered in the defendant’s bathroom and bedroom.
Following the review of exhibits, Justice Aboki adjourned the session until noon to allow the witnesses play the recorded video before the court.
