Witness narrates how Ex-HoS, allies diverted public funds to private companies in court
Ataga’s brother claims he was bound, gagged, tortured before his murder
By Modupe Shodeinde
The brother of the murdered Super TV CEO, Usifo Ataga, Dr. Isi Ataga has alleged his brother, was bound, gagged, and tortured before he was murdered.
In a report by Punch on Monday, Usifo’s brother claimed he “died a horrific death”
“He wasn’t stabbed two or even five times; he was stabbed multiple times.
“His hands were bound tightly and the marks were still all over his wrists, accompanied by evidence of torture and assault even as his corpse lay in the morgue.” he said
Dr Ataga had claimed in an earlier statement that Usifo Ataga was killed by “unknown persons” and that “they viciously ended his life.”
The deceased body was found in an Airbnb apartment in Lekki Lagos where he had spent the night with a 300 Level student of the University of Lagos, Chidinma Ojukwu.
21- year-old Ojukwu told newsmen in Lagos that she stabbed Ataga to death in self defence.
She also said she withdrew N380,000 from Ataga’s account after she had escaped and not N5 million as police claimed.
But Dr Isi Ataga insisted that the murder was not carried out by a single person owing to the manner it was done. He claimed the confessed killer had help.
“And no one in the entire building heard his screams because he was gagged,” Ataga said.
Let that sink in, he was bound, gagged and tortured!”
“The now-viral video of the room with the deceased lying on the floor shows a room with blood-stained walls and floor, evidence of a ferocious struggle.
“One person could never have carried these out.”
