In a dramatic turn of events, Chidinma Ojukwu, the prime suspect in the murder of Super TV CEO Michael Usifo Ataga, has told a Lagos State High Court that her initial confession was coerced by the police.

Ojukwu, a former 300-level Mass Communication student at the University of Lagos, testified that she was forced to sign statements dictated by police officers during her detention.​


According to Ojukwu, the statements presented in court were not voluntarily made. She claimed that the police compelled her to write and sign documents that did not reflect her own words or experiences.

This revelation raises serious concerns about the integrity of the investigation and the methods employed by law enforcement officials.​

The defense counsel has called for a thorough examination of the circumstances under which the statements were obtained, arguing that any evidence derived from coerced confessions should be deemed inadmissible. The prosecution, however, maintains that due process was followed during the investigation.​

As the trial continues, the court is set to determine the admissibility of the contested statements. This development adds a new layer of complexity to a case that has captured national attention since Ataga's death in June 2021.​
