On the day she went missing Salau tweeted about a man who exposed himself to her after giving her a ride “to find someplace to sleep and recollect [her] belongings from a church [she] refuged to a couple days back to escape unjust living conditions.”

Salau’s brother, Oluwaseyi, said: “There is no justice that can be served that will replace my sister’s life.”

Lively Tech, where Salau was enrolled in the cosmetology program, posted a picture of Salau on their Facebook page with the words: “We will miss seeing Toyin’s beautiful smile.”

Salau’s friend Danaya Hemphill said “She was very vocal she was very loving, very spiritual, very caring. She was like a light in a dark room.”

Victoria Sims, the second victim, was a retired state worker and grandmother well-known for her volunteering work and work in local Democratic politics, Unilad reports.

According to WCTV a 49-year-old man has been arrested.
