BREAKING: Court Remands UNILAG Student, Chidinma In Prison

The Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court has ordered Chidinma Ojukwu, the alleged killer of Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga to be remanded in prison.

Chidinma is a 300 level Mass Communication student of the University of Lagos. She was remanded alongside one Adedapo Quadri on Monday.

Magistrate Mrs Adeola Adedayo remanded her for 30 days in the first instant, pending the legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP.

Police counsel Cyril Ejiofor had prayed the court to remand both first defendant Ojukwu and second defendant Quadri pending the issuance of a Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) report on the matter.

Mrs Adedayo, however, granted his prayer.

She said: “In the absence of any opposition, the two defendants are hereby remanded for 30 days in the first instance.

The case is hereby adjourned till September 5, for review of remand/DPP’s advice.”

Ojukwu, 21, was alleged to have murdered Ataga in a service apartment in Lekki area of Lagos State.

DAILY GIST reports that The Lagos State Police Command arrested Chidinma for allegedly killing the Chief Executive Officer, Super TV, Usifo Ataga, in the Lekki area of the state.

While being paraded by the police, Chidinma had said she killed while he was trying to force himself on her.

Chidinma said she had been in a romantic relationship with Ataga for about four months before the ugly incident.

Chidinma while addressing Journalists said she and Ataga were “having fun” when an argument broke out and she stabbed him twice.
