In a TikTok video, the FUTA student, who is a music minister in school, expressed sadness about the tragic death of Salome and prayed her family gets justice.
The student maintained that he is not the same as the accused gospel singer and is currently in school.
“I got to my page yesterday and I saw a lot of engagements. So, I decided to check it out and I saw a lot of negative comments. I saw a lot of people accusing me for something I didn’t do.
“I saw a lot of insults and I decided to check about it and I saw that a guy named Oluwatimileyin Ajayi murdered his girlfriend.
“Of course, that news is very bad and it is a sad news and I pray the family of the girl get justice.
“But my name is Adetunji Oluwatimileyin, I attend FUTA – Federal University of Technology, Akure…”
He added that it was a misunderstanding on the part of TikTok users.
“I am here in school now, I am not with the police. The guy is already with the police. Please I want us to know the difference…” he said.
