Super TV CEO murder: Police arrest more suspects

 More suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of the Chief Executive Officer, Super TV, Mr  Usifo Ataga, whose lifeless body was found in a short-let service apartment in Lekki area of Lagos, last month.

This is just as the command has established a case of conspiracy in the ongoing investigation into the murder case.

Vanguard reliably gathered that one of the suspects, a male, is related to Chidinma Ojukwu, the 300 Level Mass Communication student of the University of Lagos and the prime suspect in the murder saga.

Another suspect is a young man who Chidinma mentioned in the course of her interrogation with detectives at the State Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Yaba.

Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Hakeem Odumosu, who made the disclosure, yesterday, while briefing journalists on the update of the investigation into Usifo’s murder, however, did not mention the exact number of additional suspects. He was also silent on their identities.

Odumosu said the command would not sweep the matter under the carpet as being insinuated in some quarters. He added that the command was exploring every information at its disposal, including an earlier statement by the Ataga’s family lawyer.

Vanguard gathered that among those arrested were drug dealers associated with Chidinma.

Meanwhile, autopsy, as reliably gathered, was being carried on Usifo’s corpse as at yesterday evening.
