I Met Super TV CEO Dead – Chidinma Makes U-Turn

Chidinma Ojukwu, the suspected killer of Super TV CEO, Usifo Ataga has made a U-turn on her confession, saying she met him dead.

Gatekeepers News had last month reported that Chidinma, a 21-year-old student of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), confessed to stabbing Ataga “twice on the neck side” while she was being paraded by the Lagos state police command.

She had claimed that Ataga forcefully had sex with her the first time but a dispute ensued after he attempted it again.

“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.

“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,” she had said.

However, in a recent interview with Crime Fighters, Chidinma said she admitted to killing Ataga because she was under duress.

In her new statement, the prime suspect claimed that she had met the deceased in a pool of his own blood when she returned from where she had gone to get food and drugs for the pair.

Chidinma alleged that she fled the scene of the incident because of the fear of being arrested by the police.

“I didn’t involve anybody. I don’t know who must have come into the apartment. Definitely, somebody did that but I don’t know who that person is. I don’t know what happened when I left the room to buy food. Because of what I did after by not alerting the police and also withdrawing money from his account, I feel guilty for what happened but I did not kill him,” she said.

“I believe someone knew where we were and waited till I left before they entered. Due to pressure and insistence of the security operatives that nobody entered the room apart from the two, I resolved that since no one believed me, let me just take the blame.”

She added: “No one is influencing my statements. I have not spoken to anyone since my arrest, not even my relation or anybody close to me.”

On why she withdrew money from Ataga’s account, Chidinma said the deceased had promised her the amount before the unfortunate incident.

“I just withdrew the money because he had already promised me, it’s not like I had anything to do with his death. I don’t have anything to do with his death,” she added.

Gatekeepers News reports that the Lagos police commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu in his reaction described Chidinma’s new stance as an “afterthought.”

The CP said the command will leave no stone unturned to unravel the actual circumstances that led to Ataga’s death and bring those behind his murder to book.
