Barely three months after the death of the Super TV Chief Executive Officer, Usifo Ataga, three suspects implicated in the alleged murder have been arranged before Justice Yetunde Adesanya of the Lagos High Court, Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.
The prime suspect, Chidinma Ojukwu alongside her sister, Chioma and one Adebayo appeared before justice Adesanya Tuesday where they pleaded not guilty to the charges brought before them.
Chidinma and Adebayo had an eight-count charge bordering on murder, stealing, and forgery.
Her sister, Chioma Egbuchu was charged for receiving late Ataga’s iPhone 7 phone.
The state government represented by the Director of Public Prosecution, Olayinka Adeyemi, asked the court to give a date for trial and to order a further remand of the first two defendants in custody.
Chidinma was represented by her counsel, O. Egwu.
Justice Adesanya later adjourned the matter to November 9 for trial.
