The family of the late Michael Usifo Ataga, who was
allegedly stabbed to death by Chidinma Ojukwu, a 300 level female student of
the University of Lagos, has revealed more findings regarding the murder of the
Chief Executive Officer of Super TV.
The family claimed that Usifo was stabbed multiple times,
adding that his hands were bound tightly and the marks were still all over his
wrists.
They also insisted that no one in the entire building heard
his screams because he was gagged and tortured.
In a statement titled: ‘Who will speak for Usifo Ataga?’, by
Dr. Isi Ataga, the elder brother to the deceased, the family described Usifo’s
death as horrific.
“Usifo died a horrific death. He wasn’t stabbed two or even
five times; he was stabbed multiple times. His hands were bound tightly and the
marks were still all over his wrists, accompanied by evidence of torture and
assault even as his corpse lay in the morgue.
“And no one in the entire building heard his screams because
he was gagged. Let that sink in, he was bound, gagged and tortured!
“The now-viral video of the room with the deceased lying on
the floor shows a room with blood-stained walls and floor, evidence of a
ferocious struggle. One person could never have carried these out,” Isi said in
the statement.
Meanwhile, the family had on Saturday night urged the police
to go beyond the arrest of the suspect, Chidinma Ojukwu, to get to the bottom
of the case.
Recall that the police in Lagos arrested the
suspect Chidinma for killing Ataga last week in the Lekki area of Lagos, after
she was tracked to her home.
While confessing to the crime, the suspect had claimed that
she stabbed the deceased after he forcefully had sex with her.
She further admitted to withdrawing some amount of money
from the deceased’s account with claims she wanted to use it to pay for her
tuition.
