Usifo Ataga: Chidinma Ojukwu Reveals How She Killed Super TV

A recording of murder suspect Chidinma Ojukwu confessing to killing Super TV boss Usifo Ataga was played before a Lagos High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square on Tuesday.

Punch reports that Ojukwu disclosed that she met Ataga through a friend and that on June 13, 2021, the deceased called her and requested that she get a place for them to stay.

She said she got the short let service apartment where the late Ataga breathed his last.

“After I got the place on Sunday, we were smoking loudly, drinking, and watching movies.

“Then, I went to get food, the drug we were taking got finished and I ordered another one and went downstairs to get it from the delivery guy in the morning.”

The first defendant said the above-mentioned incident occurred on June 14, 2021.

”Then, on Tuesday, we drank, smoke loud and I added Rophynol to his drink. We had sex, and I was on the bed and he was on a chair.

“Later, he started disturbing me for more sex. I was tired, and after struggling with him, he had his way and still wanted more.

“He was no longer himself, and I thought he was no more interested in sex, only for him to return to the bed to ask for more.

“I pushed him away which resulted in his hitting his head against a stool that had a glass, he had a cut on his leg and he became weak.”

The suspect added that she took a knife and stabbed Ataga in the neck, ribs and stomach, so he would not be able to harm her.

“I tied his hands with a handkerchief. His blood was out and I was scared. I just packed everything, my clothes were also stained with blood, I just packed my things and left.

“I took the knife and handkerchief, and when I got home, I threw the knife and handkerchief away.
Michael was a friend. I didn’t know him that deeply, and we didn’t talk regularly,” she said in the video clip.

When she was asked in the video if she was assisted in killing the deceased, Ojukwu said, “There was nobody that assisted me, I did it alone.”

On why she did not call for help, Ojukwu said she was scared at the time.

”Obviously I was scared, that was why I left.”

Speaking on why she chose to use Mary Johnson to open a bank account, Ojukwu stated that she was trying to open an account number which got blocked.

On procuring an identification, she added: "It was someone that did it and you can’t see his face.

“I don’t know the contact of the person. I was just going through the internet and I saw a contact to call.”

Chidinma Ojukwu and Adedapo Quadri are facing the first to eight counts bordering on conspiracy, murder, stabbing, forgery, making of bank statements, and stealing.

Chioma Egbuchu, the third defendant is facing the ninth count; stealing of an iPhone 7 belonging to Ataga.
