One of the suspects in the case of murdered boss of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, has kicked against the way the deceased’s family recently portrayed him.
Ataga was killed in Lagos, with a student of the University of Lagos, Chidinma Ojukwu, being the prime suspect.
She had confessed to stabbing him in defence, although there have been varied stories from interviews she subsequently granted.
The suspect, Disu, said the picture the family recently painted through their lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, was malicious.
The family had raised the alarm over the way Disu was charged, saying the police ought to have treated him as a prime suspect.
He was alleged to have suspiciously stayed around the apartment Usifo was killed, around the time the incident took place.
Responding through his lawyer, David Orife of Davids and Co, however, Disu said: “This statement was undoubtedly made with the intention of portraying our client as an irresponsible man, a criminal and a murderer. Our client is the only Disu who was arraigned for refusal to report the death of late Ataga.”
