Chidinma Begs Killed Super TV Boss’s Family For Forgiveness, Speaks On Drug Use, Childhood With investigation still ongoing into the circumstances surrounding the death of the CEO, Super TV, Usifo Ataga, the prime suspect, Chidinma Ojukwu, during an interview on Saturday the 26th of June 2021, said she doesn’t want to die over the case.
Amidst cries, the University of Lagos undergraduate said, “I regret killing Mr Ataga. I don’t know what my future holds but I don’t want to die. Please, I don’t want to die because of this case. I have not killed before.
I was just trying to comport myself to answer questions during the parade and not that I am not showing remorse. I regretted everything I did and I am sorry. Mr Ataga’s family, I am deeply sorry for what I did. If I had my life back, I wouldn’t do anything like that. I am deeply sorry and I hope you forgive me.”
Chidinma and Ataga reportedly lodged in a service apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State and the corpse of the latter was discovered the next day in the room and the former fled, thus raising suspicion of her complicity in his death.
The police said they went after her and tracked her down at her father’s Alagomeji, Yaba residence.
Upon her arrest, Chidinma attributed her action to the influence of hard drugs and alcohol.
Speaking while being paraded by the police, Chidinma said she met the late Ataga about four months ago. Chidinma also said that she
and Ataga were “having fun” when an argument broke out and she stabbed him twice after which she withdrew N380, 000 from his account using his ATM card.
The police had also disclosed that an Information and Communication Technology unit recently created by the state
Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, tracked the suspect, who used different SIM cards- both Nigerian and foreign ones.
Childhood Chidinma said her parents separated when she was two years old and she started living with her uncle, Chijioke Obi, in the Mushin area of Lagos State.
She added that while growing up, her childhood ambition was to become either a musician or an actress.
