21-year-old Chidinma Ojukwu has revealed how she killed Usifo Atanga, the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV.
The 300-level University of Lagos undergraduate of Mass Communication who spoke at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters in Ikeja on Thursday, June 24, after she was paraded as a suspect by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, said that she stabbed the deceased twice on his neck.
Recall that Atanga was found dead in a Lekki apartment after he was declared missing by his friends.
Ojukwu who was arrested at her parent’s residence in the Yaba area of Lagos State on Wednesday night said that she had been in a romantic relationship with Ataga for about four months before the ugly incident.
Narrating how she killed Atanga, she said that they were “having fun” when an argument broke out and she stabbed him twice.
Her words: “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’.
“He later became violent trying to get to me and I was resisting and defending myself. At some point, he hit my head on the wall and I also retaliated.
“At some point, he was chasing me around the kitchen cabinet. I took a knife and stabbed his neck. I approached the door and he followed me. I stabbed him twice on the neck side. I threw the knife to the bed and he was going for it but I also went for it. He dragged the knife with me and it broke and he fell on the floor.”
Ojukwu also revealed that after stabbing the late Atanga, she withdrew N380,000 from his account using his ATM card.
Odumosu said Ataga’s accounts had been blocked to prevent further withdrawals by those taking advantage of his untimely death to deplete the accounts.
