Chidinma Ojukwu, a 21-year-old undergraduate of the University of Lagos, has confessed to stabbing to death Mr. Usifo Ataga, the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV.

On Thursday, she was paraded as a suspect by the state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu. Odumosu said Chidinma was arrested on Wednesday night, in Yaba at her parents’ residence.

She made her public confession at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters in Ikeja On Thursday after she being paraded as a suspect by the state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu.

Ojukwu, a 300-level student of Mass Communication, said she had been in a romantic relationship with 50-year-old Ataga for about four months before the unfortunate incident happened on June 15, 2021, at a Short Service Apartment, situated at No 19, Adewale Oshin Street, Lekki, Phase 1, Lagos.

The undergraduate said she and Ataga were “having fun” when an argument broke out and she stabbed him twice. parrotreporters.com

An emotional and remorseful Ojukwu said, “We were in the lodge smoking. He was trying to make advances on me. I was tired and he became violent on it. I let him have his way. Towards afternoon, he ordered roofies. We took it together and ate food. He became high. I was still not happy with the first one (sex) that we had, so, I was staying on my own, smoking and drinking. He, too, was on his own.

“He came to me and I was like I am not happy with what he did. I was like, ‘You don’t help me, you don’t assist me with anything, you are just playing with me around’. He was like, ‘Take my ATM and withdraw what you want’.”

The undergraduate, ashamed, couldn’t look directly into the camera, as she said, “He later became violent trying to get to me and I was resisting and defending myself. At some point, he hit my head on the wall and I also retaliated.

“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.”

The undergraduate also disclosed that after stabbing the late CEO, she withdrew N380,000 from his account using his ATM card.

While the owner of the rented apartment where the tragic incident took place had been arrested, Odumosu said Ataga’s accounts had been blocked to prevent further withdrawals by those taking advantage of his untimely death to deplete the accounts.

“the case will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded” added Odumosu.
