A Yaba Magistrates’ Court has remanded Chidinma Ojukwu, prime suspect in the murder of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, for 30 days.

TheNation reports that Chief Magistrate Adeola Adedayo made the order following an application by the police.

She also remanded Ojukwu’s co-defendant Adedapo Quadri on the same terms.

Granting the prosecution’s prayer, Mrs Adedayo said: “In the absence of any opposition, the two defendants are hereby remanded for 30 days in the first instance.

“The case is hereby adjourned till September 5, for review of remand/DPP’s advice.”

Ojukwu, a 21-year-old Mass Communication student of the University of Lagos, was arrested by the police on June 23, 2021.

She had been in a romantic relationship with 50-year-old Ataga for about four months before the incident.
