    “Left for her striking beauty, she is not likely to be noticed by anyone, because she doesn’t talk in class.”

    One of the peers, who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “Yes, she (Chidinma) is a 300-level part time student of Mass Communication. I know her, but we are not on talking terms; she doesn’t interact with many people. She is a recluse.

    “She is a cool girl, who comes for lectures and leave afterwards; she has few friends, who she talks to. I don’t really know much about her.”

    Another student said he had not seen her in the current semester, adding that their lectures could not hold on Thursday as the lecturers did not turn up.

    “I have not seen her this semester since we resumed on May 10. We were supposed to have lectures today, but the lecturers did not come. Likewise, her issue has been a major topic on our WhatsApp platform; it was a chaotic debate as members took sides,” he said.

    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.
