“We discovered this (the killing) through the Nigerian police. And we are expecting justice from the police. He (Ajayi) has succeeded in destroying our daughter. Not ordinary kill, he butchered her into pieces. He cut that body into more than 50 pieces. When you look at the whole thing, he is preparing that body for consumption because he cut the body and put it in about six polythene bags.

“If you look at where people contribute money to buy cattle during the festive period and those times the Fulanis would come to share the cow among the people that contributed for it, that is exactly what he did in his room.”

Samson continued:

“When we went to his (Ajayi's) room, we discovered that this is not the first time that he is doing this thing; he is a professional in this. He has a place in his room, with all those kinds of knives, he has them there that he used to cut and arrange. There is a big basin that he cuts and puts inside. In short, a lot of evidence that this is not even the first person that he has destroyed there.”
