The Lagos State Police Command has arrested more suspects in connection with the murder of the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga.

Commissioner of Police  Hakeem Odumosu  while parading some suspects before  journalists at the Command Headquarters in Ikeja, on Wednesday, said briefly that the Command has arrested more  suspects in connection with the murder of Mr Ataga.

“We have arrested more suspects and have established a case of conspiracy in the murder ” he said.

Ataga’s murder went viral few days after he was declared missing by his family and his lifeless body was discovered in a league apartment in Lekki area of Lagos with wounds all over his body.

Few days after his body was discovered, the police arrested Chidinma Ojukwu,  a 300-level  Mass Communication student of the University of Lagos who confessed that she stabbed Ataga to death.

Surprisingly, few days after her confession, a video  went viral on Monday where Chidinma vehemently denied  killing Ataga, claiming that she did the initial confession under duress.

The recent video of her denial forced the  House of Representatives  to warn  the police  that Chidinma Ojukwu must not die in their custody.

However, during the Wednesday parade, Odumosu assured the public that police would not compromise in the case describing  Chidinma’s new claim that she is not responsible for the murder as  an “afterthought”.

Earlier, Odumosu who paraded a total number 1320  miscreants/hoodlums ,said they  were raided at various locations across the state and many dangerous weapons, suspected hard drugs and weeds suspected to be Indian hemp were recovered from them.

“The Command wishes to reiterate its determination and commitment to harness all available means of reducing crimes and social vices in Lagos State as required of the Police.

“In totality, from the month of May, 2021 till date, the command arrested 66 suspected armed robbers,72 suspected cultists and 47 murder suspects. In addition, the Command recovered 110 arms, 125 ammunition of various calibres while it recovered eight  stolen vehicles.

“Interestingly, the Command was able to foil 46 cases of armed robbery in the state. The Command, within the period under review, was able to charge 151 suspects to court amongst whom were 15 cultists/armed robbers.
