Super TV CEO, Michael Usifo Ataga, was allegedly stabbed to death by a 300 level female student of the University of Lagos, Chidinma Ojukwu. The police in Lagos later arrested Chidinma for killing Ataga after she was tracked to her home.

Chidinma while confessing to the crime claimed that she stabbed the deceased after he tried to forcefully have 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.

The family in a statement claimed that Usifo was stabbed multiple times.

Ataga’s family added 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.

Honourable Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, received the report on behalf of the Federal Government in Abuja on Thursday.

Mallam Adamu said the recommendations of the panel will be thoroughly scrutinized with the aim of full implementation.

This comes three weeks after the Federal Government inaugurated the panel to resolve the lingering crisis facing UNILAG.

While setting up the panel on August 26, Adamu warned members against interfering in the activities of the university management.

He encouraged the stakeholders in the university to fully cooperate with the panel and to allow it to work unhindered.

“Councils are to lay down policies while managements are to implement them, but over the past one year, the ministry has been inundated with complaints and correspondences from the management and the governing council of the University of Lagos as well as the National Assembly, on the lingering governance issues in the institution, including allegations of financial infractions and breach of responsibilities,” he said.

The panel was set up to investigate the crisis rocking the university, following the earlier removal of its Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, by its Governing Council led by Mr Wale Babalakin, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
