Late Super TV CEO, Michael Usifo Ataga has been buried, a month and a half after he was found dead in an apartment in Lagos.

The 50-year-old was buried at the Ebony Vaults, Ikoyi, Lagos, in a low-key ceremony attended by his family, including his wife, and friends.

Recall that the late businessman was found dead in an apartment in the Lekki area of the state on June 16.

On Wednesday, June 23, a 21-year-old undergraduate, Chidinma Ojukwu was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command in connection with his demise.

The 300-level student of the Department of Mass Communication, University of Lagos (UNILAG), was paraded before newsmen on Thursday, June 24.

Ojukwu confessed to have stabbed Ataga multiple times but claimed she did it in self-defence.

She noted that the businessman had pressurised her into having sex with him previously and wanted to do so again which led to a struggle between them.

It was during this struggle that she stabbed him, she said.

She also confessed to have withdrawn N380,000 from the victim’s bank account.

But in a video that surfaced shortly after, Ojukwu recanted her earlier statement where she admitted killing the victim.
