Super TV CEO, Usifo Ataga has been buried in Lagos.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, has been laid to rest in a private ceremony on Friday at the Ebony Vaults in Ikoyi, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
Family and friends of the late CEO paid tributes to him at a service of songs held in his honour at the Incubator, in Victoria Island, Lagos on Thursday evening.
At his funeral service held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Victoria Island on Friday, the officiating priest, Julius Olaitan, in his message, described Ataga as an achiever.
Olaitan called the police to find those responsible for his untimely demise.
The Priest said, “He was a man with enemies; his manner of death is a testimony to that. It is a duty for those in authority to do the right thing by finding those who brutally murdered him.
“Who can imagine what Usifo went through in the hands of those who tortured him? We should be mindful of what we say on social media. Please spare the family of the good name. Our common humanity demands that from us.
“Justice is having Usifo alive since he has the right to live. His children cannot call him daddy and get a response.
“Death is a terrifying mystery. We’ve not lost him, but we’ve gained a soul in heaven. Usifo is now in a place where he can be with the reward of his earthly sojourn.”
The deceased’s eldest brother, Isi Ataga, in his vote of thanks, appreciated the church for standing with the family through the difficult moment.
Ataga, who went missing for a couple of days, was found murdered in a Short let apartment on 19, Adewale Oshin Street, Lekki, Lagos, on June 15.
Gatekeepers News reported that a prime suspect, Chidinma Ojukwu, an undergraduate has been arrested for the murder of the Super TV boss.
Ojukwu while being paraded by the Lagos police, confessed to fatally stabbing Ataga after a mild argument.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, had also disclosed that more suspects had been arrested in connection with the killing.
However, the bereaved family is yet to speak about the outcome of the ongoing investigation into Ataga’s death.
