The family of Super TV boss, Usifo Ataga, has raised fresh questions over the his killing and the manner investigation was conducted into it.
Ataga was found killed in a rented apartment in Lagos, with a student of the University of Lagos, Chidinma Ojukwu, who claims to be Ataga’s girlfriend, being the prime suspect.
The family believes one Babalola Disu also has questions to answer concerning the incident.
As a result, the family has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali, asking a re-investigation.
In the petition by its lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, it asked: “The family premised its suspicion on information it had to the effect that Disu’s short rental apartment was directly opposite the apartment where Ataga was killed.
“The family narrated how the said Disu had asked that the carpenter of the Air BnB short service apartment should be called to fix his door, only for the carpenter to be told that it was actually Ataga’s door that was broken.
“The family said it also suspects the said Disu for having a hand in Ataga’s murder because of the manner in which he disappeared from the service apartment and wondered why he was charged for mere obstruction and failure to report a crime, thus being granted bail in the ridiculous sum of N1m only.
“Why did Disu obstruct police investigation and over what crime? How did he do so? What crime did Disu fail to report to the police for which he was now charged? Was it the murder case? And if so, how was he connected to it and under what circumstances did he know about it? The Ataga family needs an answer.”
