Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics.

 Court Hears Case of NYSC Member Allegedly Killed by Gospel Singer


A High Court in Lafia, presided over by Justice Simon Aboki, has begun hearing the murder trial of 32-year-old gospel singer, Oluwatimilehin Daniel Ajayi, who is accused of killing and dismembering National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Salome Adaidu.


Ajayi, who was brought to court under tight security from the Nigerian Correctional Service, pleaded not guilty to the charges.


The Nasarawa State Government, represented by Attorney General Hauwa Samuel Jugbo, has officially taken over the prosecution from the police.


During the proceedings, prosecution counsel Raymond Umar requested an amendment to the defendant’s name, changing it from Timilehin Ajayi to his full legal name. Justice Aboki granted the request after verification.


Three witnesses, including the Divisional Police Officer of Karshi Police Station and the deceased’s uncle, Mr. Adaidu Samson, testified before the court.


During cross-examination, defense counsel Joseph Tuku Bisong questioned whether forensic investigations had confirmed the victim’s identity. In response, Mr. Samson stated that he immediately recognized his niece’s severed head when it was found inside a polythene bag.


Justice Aboki adjourned the case to Tuesday for further hearing.


Ajayi, also known as Timilehin Ajayi, was arrested on February 12 in connection with the brutal killing and dismemberment of the 24-year-old corps member.
