The House of Representatives has called on the Nigeria
Police Force, NPF, to stop the ongoing media trial of Chidinma Ojukwu, the
suspected killer of the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga.
This followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public
importance moved by Rep Tolu Sadipe at the plenary on Tuesday.
Sadipe while moving the motion, raised concerns over the
unending parade and media trial of the suspect by the police.
The lawmaker said the police should rather conclude its investigation in Chidinma’s matter and charge her to court for trial rather than the ongoing media trial the suspect is being made to go through.
Chidinma was first paraded by the
Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, on June 24 at the Police
Command in connection with the murder of Ataga.
The suspect has not been charged to court yet.
She has made a series of confessional statements through
media interviews granted to both the print and electronic media while in the
custody of the police.
Meanwhile, in a video that went viral on Monday, Chidinma
denied killing the Super TV CEO, a claim that is contrary to her initial
confession.
According to the undergraduate, the deceased had locked the
room before she left, but she was surprised when she came back to find out that
the room wasn’t locked.
Chidinma added that she fled with a bag containing his
credentials because she was confused about what to do as he was already dead.
