An undergraduate of the University of Lagos, Chdinma Ojukwu, has said that she was not speaking the truth when she said she was the one behind the killing of Super TV founder, Usifo Ataga.
She noted that she initially said she the killer because she was under pressure.
Ataga had been found dead in a hotel in which he and Chidinma had lodged.
In her new statement, Chidinma said: “I didn’t involve anybody. I don’t know who must have come into the apartment. Definitely, somebody did that but I don’t know who that person is.
“I don’t know what happened when I left the room to buy food. Because of what I did after by not alerting the police and also withdrawing money from his account, I feel guilty for what happened but I did not kill him.
“I believe someone knew where we were and waited till I left before they entered. Due to pressure and insistence of the security operatives that nobody entered the room apart from the two, I resolved that since no one believed me, let me just take the blame.
“No one is influencing my statements. I have not spoken to anyone since my arrest, not even my relation or anybody close to me
“I just withdrew the money because he had already promised me, it’s not like I had anything to do with his death. I don’t have anything to do with his death.
