It can be recalled that some
weeks ago, the accused claimed responsibility for Ataga's death in a public
briefing by the Police. In a recent interview with newsmen, Chidinma made it
explicit that she had no hand in the murder of the late billionaire media
colossus. According to her, she only admitted killing the Super TV CEO due to
pressure.
She unequivocally stated that she
had met the deceased in a pool of his blood when she returned from where she
had gone to get food and drugs for the pair. In her own words, “I didn’t involve anybody. I don’t know who must have come
into the apartment. Definitely, somebody did that but I don’t know who that
person is. I don’t know what happened when I left the room to buy food. Because
of what I did after by not alerting the police and also withdrawing money from
his account, I feel guilty for what happened but I did not kill him. I believe
someone knew where we were and waited till I left before they entered. Due to
pressure and insistence of the security operatives that nobody entered the room
apart from the two, I resolved that since no one believed me, let me just take
the blame.”
Chidinma attributed her decision
to make withdrawals from Ataga’s bank account after he was killed to the fact
that he had promised her the amount before the unfortunate incident. She said, “I just withdrew the money because he had already promised
me, it’s not like I had anything to do with his death. I don’t have anything to
do with his death.”
