Barely 48 hours after the Police arraigned Chidinma Ojukwu, the prime suspect in the murder of Super TV CEO Usifo Ataga in court, the deceased’s family has raised the alarm over what they described as attempted foul play.
Ataga’s family accused the Lagos State Police Commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu, of complicity in an alleged attempt to shield his killers from facing investigation and prosecution. According to the family, the Police has granted one of the killers’ bail.
The family of the Super TV CEO expressed concerns that one Babalola Disu, who was arraigned for preventing the Police from performing their duties, is highly suspected of having carried out the murder.
Ataga’s family revealed that Disu’s apartment was opposite Usifo’s in the short rental apartment where Chidinma reportedly killed him. Also, the family said the Police did not inform them before taking the prime suspect, Chidinma, to court.
The family added that the Police reportedly used Uber to move Chidinma to the prison from court without handcuffs. They further accused the Police of lying about the man claiming to be Chidinma’s father, adding that he is her sugar daddy.
You will recall that the wife of Usifo Ataga had reacted to the killing of her husband. Brenda Ataga described the death of her husband as heartbreaking.
Speaking during a service of songs in Victoria Island, Lagos, Brenda, in her tribute, said finding out about Ataga’s demise was the worst news ever.
Brenda said her mind raced through all the possibilities of what could have happened to Ataga before finding out about his death.
The wife of the Super TV CEO said she and her kids were looking forward to celebrating his milestone before the unfortunate incident happened.
