Obsequies: Slain Super TV CEO, Usifo Ataga To Be Buried On Friday

Micheal Usifo Ataga, the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, will be buried on Friday at the Ebonyi vaults in Ikoyi, Lagos, after being murdered at a short-let apartment on 19, Adewale Oshin street in the Lekki district of Lagos on June 15, 2021.

The Atagas’ family made this information public. According to the funeral programme released by the family, a Service of Songs will be held on Thursday, July 29, 2021, at the Incubator in Victoria Island, Lagos.

The next day (Friday, July 30, 2021), a burial service will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Victoria Island, Lagos, and his remains will be interred on the same day.

On the other hand, the devastated family has remained silent on the outcome of the current investigation into Usifo’s death.

Though, following the current confession by the 300 level Mass Communication student of the University of Lagos that she had nothing to do with the murder, it has been established that the leading suspect, Chidinmma Ojukwu, who has been in police custody, did not carry out the terrible deed alone.

Her denial, which contradicts her prior admission to the father of two’s murder, was exposed in a video that just went viral.

Chidinmma revealed in her most recent interview, which Vanguard learned was conducted after she was paraded before newsmen, which she had gone to purchase food and drugs on that fateful day, only to arrive to find Usifo dead in a pool of his own blood.

Earlier, while being paraded by Lagos State Police Command Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, at the command headquarters in Ikeja, the undergraduate stated she committed the crime while under the influence of roofies ( the street name for Rohypnol). She revealed that Usifo took three wraps while she took one and that in an attempt to free herself, she reached for a knife and stabbed him.

Life threatened

The recent arrest of more suspects, as stated by CP Odumosu, provided further substantiation of the likelihood of other parties being involved in the murder. Their identities, however, have yet to be released.

Furthermore, a bereaved family member revealed that telephone threats to life had been received from unknown individuals in connection with the murder.
