Chidinma Backtracks, Says She Didn’t Kill Super TV Boss

LAGOS – Chidinma Ojukwu, the 21-year-old Mass Communi­cation student of the Univer­sity of Lagos, who allegedly agreed to have stabbed the CEO of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, to death has denied killing him.

The suspected killer in a latest confession few weeks after accepting responsibil­ity for his death said she knows nothing about the death of the late CEO.

Earlier, when paraded be­fore journalists by the police after her arrest, Chidinma had confessed to killing Ataga.

Chidinma had allegedly been in a romantic relation­ship with the 50-year-old Ataga for about four months before the incident.

The undergraduate, in her confessional statement when she was paraded, said she and Ataga were “hav­ing fun” when an argument broke out and she stabbed him twice.

The suspect, in a re­cent interview with Crime Fighters, said she admitted to killing Ataga at the time because of pressure and the fact that nobody believed her.

She also claimed she had met the deceased in a pool of his blood when she returned from where she had gone to get food and drugs for two of them.

“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”, she said.

She added that she de­cided to take the blame initiative because she was scared.

“I don’t know what hap­pened when I left the room to buy food. I feel guilty for what happened because I did not alert the police after and also for withdrawing mon­ey from his account, I feel guilty for what happened but I did not kill him.

“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.

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

“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 said.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Public Rela­tions Officer (PPRO), CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, said the video where the alleged killer, Chidinma, changed her narrative is an old video.

However, the suspect was seen in a new clothing and wore make-up in the video where she denied the alle­gation of killing the Super TV CEO contrary to how she looked when she was parad­ed by the police.

Since the release of the video, it has continued to generate controversies from the public.
