Super TV CEO's Murder: Court Adjourns Trial Till April 25, See Why

The trial of undergraduate, Chidinma Ojukwu, for the murder of Usifo Ataga, the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, was on Monday stalled due to the absence of a prosecution witness.

Ojukwu is standing trial before a Lagos High Court sitting at the Tarfa Tafawa Balewa Square.

Chidinma is charged with murder, stealing, and forgery alongside her sister, Chioma Egbuchu, and one Adedapo Quadri.

On Monday, prosecution counsel, A. O. Oluwafemi, also Deputy Director of Lagos State Directorate Public Prosecutions, told the court that a prosecution witness, billed to testify, was not in court.

She prayed that earlier dates for the continuation of the hearing of the case be vacated to enable the prosecution to get toxicology and Deoxyribonucleic Acid results needed for the trial.

Oluwafemi said the results were not available yet, adding that the next witness would be examined with those documents.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya consequently vacated the dates and adjourned the proceedings until April 25 for the continuation of trial.
