A CCTV footage of University of Lagos student, Chidinma Ojukwu and Super TV CEO, Usifo Ataga at a restaurant before she allegedly stabbed him to death at a Short Service Apartment at 19, Adewale Oshin Street, Lekki, Phase 1, Lagos, has surfaced online.
The video showed them at the restaurant seated and also captured when they left the facility.
Recall that the 21-year-old student said she had been in a romantic relationship with the 50-year-old, Ataga for about four months before the ugly incident occurred on June 15, 2021.
“At some point, he was chasing me around the kitchen cabinet. I took a knife and stabbed his neck. I approached the door and he followed me. I stabbed him twice on the neck side. I threw the knife to the bed and he was going for it but I also went for it. He dragged the knife with me and it broke and he fell on the floor.”
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command also has in its custody the father of Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu, the 21-year-old UNILAG student who admitted to taking the life of Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga.
According to the PUNCH, a police source who didn’t want his identity revealed said the father of the 300 level student pursuing Mass Communication was also taken into custody for preventing the arrest of his daughter viciously. He added that the father didn’t accept that his daughter was guilty of the crime she was accused of until she confessed on Thursday hence calling for his detention at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba.
“She (Chidinma) stays with her dad. Her dad and mom don’t live together. Her father was arrested on Wednesday because he resisted his daughter’s arrest. He never believed that his daughter committed any crime until Thursday. He is at Panti as we speak, but he was not paraded yesterday (Thursday),” the source said.
