Following her arrest over the murder of Super TV CEO, Usifo Ataga, a remorseful Chidinma Ojukwu has apologised to the family of the deceased.

With tears flowing freely from her eyes, Chidinma Ojukwu, a 300-level undergraduate at the University of Lagos told Sunday PUNCH, “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 and the late Ataga had reportedly lodged in a service apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State, where the incident allegedly took place.

Ataga’s corpse was discovered a day after their altercation in the Lekki apartment.

The police said they went after Chidinma and tracked her down to her father’s residence in Alagomeji, Yaba after Atatga’s demise.

Upon her arrest, Chidinma attributed her action to the influence of hard drugs and alcohol.
