Adora Chidinma Ojukwu, a 300 level student of University of Lagos (UNILAG) has confessed she killed the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, in a Short Service Apartment located in Lekki area of Lagos state.
The 21-year old girl, made the confession while being paraded at the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja on Thursday.
The state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, confirmed Chidinma is an undergraduate student of the UNILAG.
According to the police boss, the suspect was arrested at her parent’s residence in the Yaba area of Lagos State on Wednesday night.
In the course of interrogation, Chidinma claimed she met the deceased about four months ago through a friend.
She said that they both were “having fun on June 15, 2021, at a Short Service Apartment, situated at No 19, Adewale Oshin Street, Lekki, Phase 1, Lagos, when an argument ensued between them and she stabbed him twice with a knife.
She said: “We were in the lodge smoking. He was trying to make advances on me. I was tired and he became violent on it. I let him have his way. Towards afternoon, he ordered roofies. We took it together and ate food. He became high. I was still not happy with the first one (sex) that we had, so, I was staying on my own, smoking and drinking. He, too, was on his own.
“He came to me and I was like I am not happy with what he did. I was like, ‘You don’t help me, you don’t assist me with anything, you are just playing with me around’. He was like, ‘Take my ATM and withdraw what you want.”
She disclosed that after stabbing the late CEO, she withdrew N380,000 from his account using his ATM card.
Asked what she wanted to do with the money, she said she wanted to use it to pay her school fees.
The CP confirmed the owner of the rented apartment where the incident took place had been arrested, while Ataga’s account had been blocked.
