Usifo Ataga, Super TV CEO murdered by Chidinma Ojukwu, was bound, gagged, and tortured to death by other accomplices, says Dr Isi Ataga, the brother of the deceased.
The police found Usifo lying in the pool of his blood in a service apartment in Lekki, Lagos, without any form of identification. Chidinma disappeared with his belongings, including his ATM card which she used to withdraw, according to her confession, N380,000.
Chidinma is 21 years old, a student of Mass Communication department in the University of Lagos.
Usifo, would have been 50 years old but was murdered on the eve of his birthday by the young Chidinma who stabbed him twice in the neck and once in the stomach for allegedly trying to forcefully have another round of sex.
But the deceased brother in a statement titled, ‘Who will speak for Usifo Ataga?’ said Chidinma alone could not have killed Usifo Ataga.
“Usifo died a horrific death. He wasn’t stabbed two or even five times; he was stabbed multiple times. His hands were bound tightly and the marks were still all over his wrists, accompanied by evidence of torture and assault even as his corpse lay in the morgue,” he wrote.
“And no one in the entire building heard his screams because he was gagged. Let that sink in, he was bound, gagged and tortured!
“The now-viral video of the room with the deceased lying on the floor shows a room with blood-stained walls and floor, evidence of a ferocious struggle. One person could never have carried these out.”
