Father of Chidinma Ojukwu, the suspected murderer of the the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, has been arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command.

According to PUNCH, a top police source, who pleaded anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, said the suspect and her father were arrested at their residence, No. 57 Akinwunmi Street, Alagomeji, Yaba, on Wednesday and his being detained at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba.

Chidinma’s father was said to have been arrested for resisting his daughter arrest and for becoming violent with policemen, who went to apprehend her.

The source added that the man did not believe that his daughter committed any crime until she confessed to stabbing Usifo Ataga to death while being paraded at the state police command headquarters, Ikeja.

“She (Chidinma) stays with her dad. Her dad and mom don’t live together. Her father was arrested on Wednesday, because he resisted his daughter’s arrest. He never believed that his daughter committed any crime until Thursday. He is at Panti as we speak, but he was not paraded today (Thursday),” the source stated.

A lecturer in the Mass Communication department, University of Lagos, who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “I know her (Chidinma) because of her beauty and innocent look. She is an introvert to the core.

“Left for her striking beauty, she is not likely to be noticed by anyone, because she doesn’t talk in class.”

Another lecturer also confirmed that Chidinma is a 300-level student in the department.

“Yes, in our group chats, where there are several professors, it was confirmed that she is a 300-level part time student of Mass Communication, UNILAG,” the lecturer said.

One of the classmates, who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “Yes, she (Chidinma) is a 300-level part time student of Mass Communication. I know her, but we are not on talking terms; she doesn’t interact with many people. She is a recluse.

“She is a cool girl, who comes for lectures and leave afterwards; she has few friends, who she talks to. I don’t really know much about her.”

Another student said he had not seen her in the current semester, adding that their lectures could not hold on Thursday as the lecturers did not turn up.

“I have not seen her this semester since we resumed on May 10. We were supposed to have lectures today, but the lecturers did not come. Likewise, her issue has been a major topic on our WhatsApp platform; it was a chaotic debate as members took sides,” he said.

The students said they usually receive lectures between 5pm and 8.30pm weekdays.

When  PUNCH contacted UNILAG spokesperson, Nonye Oguama, she refused to confirm if Chidinma was indeed a student of the institution and slammed the media for publishing suspects claim of being a student of the institution.

“You did not contact me before. You are just doing so now after you had published it on your website. We have no comments,” she angrily responded.

When challenged with the fact that the parade was a live broadcast, the UNILAG spokesperson remained adamant, insisting that the name of the institution should not have been mention
