Chidinma Ojukwu, the
University of Lagos (UNILAG) student who confessed to the killing of Usifo
Ataga, Super TV CEO, says she withdrew money from the deceased’s account to pay
“fees” and “start up a business”.
On June 24, Chidinma was paraded at the state police command for the murder of
the businessman while she alleged that he forcefully had sex with her.
According to Hakeem Odumosu, the state commissioner of
police, the accused also withdrew N5 million from Ataga’s bank accounts
following his death.
Chidinma has now revealed why she withdrew the money from the businessman’s bank accounts.
She opened on her intentions while speaking with PUNCH on Sunday.
The 21-year-old however maintained that the murder was an
accident.
“I didn’t plan on killing anybody. It was just to get money
from him. I totally regret everything I did,” Chidinma said.
“After the incident
happened that I withdraw the money, the purpose was to use it for my fees and
start up a business.”
The accused then added that paying schools fees had become
difficult for her, saying that the financial hardship had been a reason for
truancy in school.
“There are lots of times that the school fees weren’t there,
and it was a struggle to complete it,” she said
“The reason why I have been absent from school is because of
finance, and secondly, I was just feeling reluctant to go back to school. I
wanted to do online schooling so that I could join it with my business when I
start up my business.”
