Caleb Umaru, the church’s Bible Study Teacher and General Secretary, shared the details saying:

“It was almost the end of the service when one of our members, Brother Victor, noticed someone walking suspiciously near the river by the church carrying a bag,” Umaru recalled.

The two men, Victor and Brother Amos, approached Ajayi, who threw a black nylon bag into the river when they confronted him. Although he denied throwing anything, suspicion was raised.

Minutes later, two bikemen arrived, having noticed the man and blood dripping from his bag. They questioned him, but he insisted on getting off near the church.

Together with the two brothers, they confronted Ajayi and demanded he retrieve the bag from the river. After further questioning, Ajayi ran, but was eventually caught by the group, The Punch reported.

Umaru explained,

“The bikemen began hitting him with a stick, but we stopped them to ensure the matter was followed up properly. He was weak and could hardly talk.”

When police were eventually called, a plainclothes officer questioned the suspect.

Ajayi admitted to having been in a relationship with the woman for about a year and explained that an argument about her phone had escalated, leading to the fatal stabbing, Vanguard reported.

A chilling confession

The situation grew more horrifying when the church members opened the bag and discovered a human head inside.

Ajayi, alleged to be a gospel singer, later explained that a woman had asked him to bring her the head, but he did not know the woman's identity or the victim’s relatives.

“It was the first time I have seen anything like this in person,” Umaru said, visibly shaken.
