In January, Ajayi had confessed to murdering Adaidu in a fit of anger after she allegedly cheated on him. He also showed no remorse.
“I didn’t plan to kill her. She is always cheating; she hides most things from me. I discovered she was cheating when I saw her phone; so, I got angry seeing her chat with other guys, and that’s why I killed her,” he said.
