A video of Chidinma Ojukwu confessing how she killed the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Michael Ataga, was played in a Lagos High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) on Tuesday October 11.

Stonix News reports that Miss Ojukwu, a 300-level Mass Communication student at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), is the prime suspect in Ataga’s murder.

In the video, Ataga was seen lying on the floor face up with his hands spread wide wearing a white singlet and boxers stained with blood.

His head was seen close to the wall and there was blood on the floor on his right hand side.

There were also large blood stains on the floor and the pillow and duvet cover.

Narrating how she killed Ataga during interrogation by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Olusegun Bamidele, from the Intelligence and Tactical Unit of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, Ojukwu said she met Ataga through a friend and they started relating.

On June 13, 2021, he asked her to look for a place for them to stay, so she got the short-let apartment where they ate, drank, took drugs and there he was killed.

She said: “After I got the place on Sunday, we were smoking ‘loud,’ drinking, watching movies and 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; that was on June 14, 2021.

“Then on Tuesday, we drank and smoked ‘loud.’ I added Rophynol to his drink and we had sex.

“I was on the bed and he was on the chair. Then 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 wanted it, 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 sex.

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

“I got a knife and stacbbed him in the neck, ribs and stomach so that he would not be able to harm me. I tied his hands with handkerchief.

“His blood was out and I was scared.”
