The internet is abuzz over the death controversial death of the CEO of Super TV, Mr. Micahel Usifo Ataga.

Earlier a report published by StreetJournal, claimed Ataga, who resided at Banana Island had ealier in the week been reported missing by concerned friends and family after all efforts to reach him proved abortive.

“Checks at his Victoria Island office showed he wasn’t there either and this put everyone in a panic mode including his wife and children who reside in Abuja.

“Unfortunately, his lifeless body has been found in a flat at Lekki phase 1 with multiple stab wounds after several suspicious withdrawals were made from his account.” The medium said.

Speaking on the incident, Lagos police commissioner Hakeem Odumosu told newsmen that efforts were on to arrest the fleeing suspect (a female), adding that the victim and the suspect had been lodging in the apartment.

The apartment did not have CCTV camera. Though it was gathered the manager of the facility is being questioned by the police.

Mr Odumosu stated that the victim met the suspect in the apartment, adding on the day of the incident, the victim was scheduled to travel to Abuja to celebrate his birthday with his family.

They murdered my son, mother laments

Meanwhile, Sylvia Ataga, mother of the deceased had innocently taken to Facebook on 17 June, to celebrate the 50th birthday of her son.

“Happy golden birthday to my son Usifo. My son who gives me joy. May the rest of your life remain golden & all your lines fall in place. You are loved beyond measure & my prayer for you today is that God will take control of all your endeavours. The son who makes me happy! Congratulations on this milestone & God’s blessings always”.

When the mother who is based in Benin City, wrote this, she got no fewer than 56 comments sharing in her joy of being alive to mark the golden jubilee of her son.

However, unknown to her she was celebrating a son who had already been dispatched to the great beyond.

She was celebrating a son whose death would bring her great pain and sorrow in her old age.

It was on the same 17th June in Lagos, that the body of Usifo was found in an Airbnb facility, a vacation rental, in Lekki One.

When asked to verify the grim news, by one of her followers:

‘Yes’, Sylvia replied.

“True I was not aware of his demise when I posted this. It is the same Usifo! They murdered my son”.

HOW USIFO MET HIS DEATH

According to an undisclosed source quoted by StreetJournal, Usifo who would have been 50 years old on the 17th had met a girl about two weeks ago and they began a relationship. This despite the fact that he was married to a manager in Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

Usifo who felt more comfortable meeting with his side chic outside his home and hers, to prevent nosey neighbours from prying, rented an Airbnb in Lekki, Lagos where they both checked into before the unfortunate incidence.

Following his disappearance, a combined team of concerned friends, family members, the police and DSS operatives all the way from Abuja, through the concerted efforts of the wife, tracked down the owner of the Airbnb, who received payment from the side chic’s bank account into which Ataga had previously made a transfer to.

The apartment was broken into and that was where he was found dead with multiple stab wounds in his neck, chest and thigh.

The murderers withdrew N5 million from his account after they killed Ataga.

Apparently, the side chic is suspected to have carried out the murder after she must have drugged him as the security guards at the rentals said no 3rd party came visiting Ataga and the side chic besides a dispatch rider who brought somethings for the girl.

The lady who was last seen on Tuesday when the murder happened, was equally tracked down and arrested alongside the owner of the Airbnb.

Many of Ataga’s friends have expressed shock as to how the side chic was able to pull the dastardly act all alone as Ataga was said to have been an amateur boxer who was very strong.

According to others sources, after the side chic left the apartment, following the gruesome death, money began to disappear from Ataga’s Guaranty Trust Bank account and it didn’t stop until an email from Ataga’s email address asked for a change in his account details, did the withdrawals stop.

With thiis, GTBank put an embargo on the account to prevent any further withdrawal.

Investigations is still on and the case is still unfolding, our security sources indicated.
