Miss Chidinma Ojukwu, the University of Lagos Student, who had earlier confessed to have killed Usifo Ataga, the CEO of Super TV while being paraded to the Press by the Police, has retracted her confession.
She revealed that she was not responsible for the death of Ataga, while also revealing that the deceased had marital problems before his death.
Chidinma Ojukwu said the man had some problems with his wife and told her he was in his marriage to cater for his children.
The 21-year-old lady disclosed this in a recent interview with Crime Fighters, in which she described the deceased as a busy man who was quick to anger.
She said she admitted to killing Ataga at the time because of pressure and the fact that nobody believed her.
The undergraduate also claimed she had met the deceased in a pool of his blood when she returned from where she had gone to get food and drugs for the pair.
“I didn’t involve anybody. I don’t know who must have come into the apartment. Definitely, somebody did that but I don’t know who that person is.
“I don’t know what happened when I left the room to buy food. Because of what I did after by not alerting the police and also withdrawing money from his account, I feel guilty for what happened but I did not kill him.
“I believe someone knew where we were and waited till I left before they entered. Due to pressure and insistence of the security operatives that nobody entered the room apart from the two, I resolved that since no one believed me, let me just take the blame.
“No one is influencing my statements. I have not spoken to anyone since my arrest, not even my relation or anybody close to me.
“I just withdrew the money because he had already promised me, it’s not like I had anything to do with his death. I don’t have anything to do with his death,” she said.
She denied having a sum of N10 million in her account, saying she only had N400,000 to N500,000 in her account.
