“Life is reciprocal. If you must be with someone, you have to understand what that person is going through. That is why I didn’t have any regret because we were actually compatible. So, that was why.”

Queried what happened on the day he took Adaidu’s life, Ajayi said:

“I caught her cheating on me and so, I brought it to her awareness that she was cheating. She refused; she didn’t want to accept until I showed her the chat, I showed her what she did before she admitted and told me she was sorry. Its never going to happen again. That was what happened.”

Subsequently, Ajayi said he asked Adaidu to move into the bathroom. She obliged and “started doing some things.”

The culprit continued:

“Immediately she started those things, I couldn’t take it lightly. I had to go into the room. So, I took the knife and went to her. She was lying her hand down and I did what I had to do.”
