‘I Don’t Want To Die’ –Alleged Killer Of Super TV CEO, Chidinma, Begs For Clemency
Chidinma Ojukwu, 21 year old alleged murderer of media Mogul, Usifo Ataga, has expressed fear and pessimism over what the future holds for her as she pleads for leniency in prosecution of her case.
The university of Lagos undergraduate said she dreaded the thought of being killed as retribution for her offence because she does not want to die.
Speaking on the reactions that greeted her parade by the police, she said she was only trying to compose herself in order to be able to answer the questions she was being asked, noting that the notion that she was not contrite was false.
“I regret killing Mr Ataga. I don’t know what my future holds but I don’t want to die. Please, I don’t want to die because of this case. I have not killed before.
“I was just trying to comport myself to answer questions during the parade and not that I am not showing remorse. I totally regretted everything I did and I am sorry. Mr Ataga’s family, I am deeply sorry for what I did. If I had my life back, I wouldn’t do anything like that. I am deeply sorry and I hope you forgive me.” Chidinma told PUNCH in an interview.

Chidinma and Ataga reportedly lodged in an Airbnb hotel in the Lekki area of Lagos State but the corpse of the latter was found the next day in the room while the former fled, thus raising concerns over her involvement in his death.
The police said they went after her and tracked her down at her father’s Alagomeji, Yaba residence.
Upon her arrest, Chidinma blamed her action to the influence of hard drugs and alcohol.
Speaking while being paraded by the police, Chidinma said she met the late Ataga about four months ago. Chidinma also said that she and Ataga were “having fun” when an argument broke out and she stabbed him twice after which she withdrew N380, 000 from his account using his ATM card.
