Finally, the family of the late Super TV Chief Executive Officer, Micheal Usifo Ataga, allegedly murdered in an apartment in Lagos by his girlfriend, Chidinma Ojukwu, on June 15, 2021, has announced that he would be buried in Lagos on Friday.
The programme for the burial issued by the family revealed that Ataga would be interred at the Ebony Vaults in Ikoyi. It would be preceded by a Service of Songs on Thursday, July 29, at the Incubator in Victoria Island, also in Lagos.
The funeral service will hold the next day, (Friday, July 30, 2021) at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Victoria Island, Lagos, while his remains interred the same day.
However, the bereaved family had yet to speak on its position on the outcome of the ongoing investigation into Usifo’s murder.
On June 24, the Lagos State Police Command paraded the suspect where she had admitted to stabbing the 50-year-old in the neck with a knife after a disagreement.
However, in an interview that had now gone viral, the undergraduate contradicted her initial confession, denying her involvement in killing the Super TV CEO.
Ojukwu stated that Ataga had marital problems before his death. She described the deceased as a busy man who was quick to anger.
Chidinma said the man had some problems with his wife and told her he was in his marriage to cater to his children.
Also, the Lagos Police boss, Hakeem Odumosu, had confirmed the possibility of the involvement of other parties in the murder, followed by the additional arrest of other suspects, whose identities are yet to be revealed.
In addition, a member of the bereaved family revealed that telephone calls of threats to life had been received from some strange persons, over the murder
