October 12, (THEWILL) – The key suspect in the alleged murder of the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, has arrived for trial at the Lagos State High Court, Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.
The suspect along with others is being arraign for the alleged murder of the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, at the court presided over by Justice Yetunde Adesanya.
Chidinma, a 21-year-old 300-level student of the University of Lagos, is the principal suspect of the Police in the murder case of the TV boss, Ataga.
THEWILL recalls that the trial of the suspect was transferred to the High Court for continuation after the Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court presided over by Chief Magistrate Adeola Adedayo last week said it would no longer handle the case.
The decision of the lower court followed legal advice by the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Also, based on the legal advice issued by DPP Director, Mrs Olayinka Adeyemi, 11 suspects were cleared of complicity in the murder of the Super TV boss while Chidinma and two others are to be tried in a high court.
Others set for trial alongside Chidinma include her sister, Egbuchu Chioma and one Adedapo Quadri.
