    TRENDING VIDEO: Police parade alleged killer of Super TV CEO, a 21-year-old UNILAG student

    The Lagos state police command has arrested and paraded a 21-year-old lady alleged to have killed Michael Usifo Ataga, the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, and a director in Super Network Limited.

All efforts to reach Ataga, who would have turned 50 years old on June 18, proved abortive and this caused distress to his wife and children, who live in Abuja. Unfortunately, his lifeless body was found on Friday morning, June 18, in a flat in Lekki phase 1 with multiple stab wounds.

    After a detailed investigation, Chidinma was picked up by the police at her parent’s home in Alagomeji, Lagos and paraded today, June 24.

    Chidinma said she was introduced to the deceased by her friend four months ago. She mentioned that on the day of the incident, she told her parents that she was going for an ushering job but went on to meet with the deceased so they could have some fun. She told newsmen that while in the apartment, they were taking drugs called ”loud and SK” and that an argument ensued between them when she refused to have sex with him. She said she stabbed him twice before she fled the apartment.

    She said she withdrew N380, 000 from his account with the intention of using it to pay her school fees.

    I wasted time doing secular music-Chidinma

    Chidinma who refers to herself as Mummy GO and end-time soldier said she wants to use all of her talents to work for her “father who is in heaven.”

    “Our God is faithful, He never lies and He does whatever He says. So I’m here today, it’s been a long journey.

    “I had an opportunity to spend time with Him, it’s a rare privilege to spend time with Him and He told me a lot of things and He said, He has been waiting for me.

    “So, He is happy to receive me. God has been very intentional about me.

    “He is very mindful of me. I’m not here because I want fame. I’ve had all of that and I think I’ve had enough of all of that.

    “So, right now is the time to work for my father. He is the one who has called me I did not bring myself here.”

    “As a matter of fact, I did not want to be here but I’m going into ministry in full force.

    “So, most of you might not understand my ways because you don’t know where I’m coming from, and that is because a lot of time has been wasted.

    “So, I need to catch up with time. I’m moving with time, there is no time.

    “The enemy has been winning for too long. I’ve had my share of influence and all of that, but now I’m using all of that, everything the enemy thought he had given to me though was given to me by God, while he was lying that he gave them to me, now I’m using all of that to work for my father.”

    “So, when you see me doing some very extreme thing, just understand where I’m coming from, there is no time. There are too many people out there we have to bring back into the house.

    “Jesus is coming soon, sooner than you expect. So we cannot allow them to miss out on that. Now is the time to do the work,” she said.

  • You should be hiding your face in shame, Uzodinma blasts Okorocha

    The All Progressives Congress (APC), Imo State governorship candidate, Hope Uzodinma, has chided Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, advising him to hide his face in shame instead of blaming him and the national leadership of the party over his failed plot to install his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, as governor of the state.

    Reacting to the comment credited to Governor Okorocha that the APC failed to win the Imo governorship election due to his candidacy, Uzodinma in a statement, reminded the governor that even as ‘a sitting governor’ he failed to win a senatorial election, resulting in his compelling the Returning Officer to announce him winner under duress.

    He boasted that if he walks the street of Owerri and other parts of the state with Governor Okorocha, Imolites will haul stones at him, urging him to accept his burial politically.

    “I thought by now Okorocha should be hiding his face in shame after he lost his bid to install his son-in-law and win his senatorial election. Despite all the billions he spent to stop the APC and I in the state, but from the results of the polling units I won the election and we will prove it.

    “But Okorocha has lost his deposit and he is finished politically. He is an expert in running people down, but God has punished him today. This same man worked against the APC and has the gut to speak about others. I challenge Okorocha for a walk in the streets of Owerri if Imo people will not stone him.

    “Thank God all his conspiracy against us has ended and he has buried himself politically. I expect that by now he should be apologising to the people of Imo State for the crime he committed against God and humanity. I will reclaim my mandate which Okorocha and Ihedioha stole last weekend and then I will have something to tell Okorocha,” the statement emphasised.
