The family of Usifo Ataga, the slain CEO of Super TV has broken their silence following the demise of their kin.
According to report, the family released an official statement, asking the members of the public to let them grieve in private and urging those with new information to share it with the police.
The statement reads: “A suspect has been arrested and paraded before the press. We, the Ataga Family, are grateful to the Nigerian Police for pursuing this investigation. However, like you, we have many unanswered questions. Some things don’t add up.
“If you have any information, don’t hide behind online posts. Instead, come forward and share it with the Police.
“Here’s what we do know. The more you add to the false information in the press and on social media, the harder it is for the Nigerian Police to do their work and fully solve this case. The harder it is for a grieving family to recover from the loss of their beloved son.
“We ask, sincerely, that you let us grieve this terrible loss with some privacy. This past week and a half have been the worst period of our lives.”
The death of Usifo Ataga has been one of the week’s top stories, with many prominent Nigerians weighing in on the case.
Reno Omokri in a recent post advised the public not to demonise the murder suspect, Chidinma Ojukwu, saying she was a victim of bad parenting and a bad society.
“Everybody is in a rush to demonise Chidinma. But it takes two to tango. Chidinma is 21. Usifo was 50. Between them, there existed a 29 year age gap. She could have been his daughter”, he stated.
“How many of you condemning Chidinma were mature at 21? We are now circulating videos of her smoking. How many of you did not smoke at 21? She erred.
“She should be punished. However, let us try to find out why it happened and make course corrections as a society. Chidinma is also a victim. Of bad parenting and a bad society. We are now a society that is so religious that we expect ‘grace’ to cover everything.
“… Nigeria is now a society that prioritises wealth over morals. We are a society that celebrated a billionaire, who already had a sizeable International harem, for marrying his granddaughter’s age mate.
“And the union was promoted and blessed by the parent. It was celebrated as a super love story in the media. That was our own fairy tale Cinderella story for young girls to look up to. And we are surprised we ended up with Chidinma?
“Chidinma was obviously corrupted by the ‘small girl with a big God’ phenomenon. If not that their drug-induced orgy ended in murder, the man may have funded her lifestyle and she would be motivating young girls on Nigerian blogs…”
