A world class law, which doubles
as the solicitors to the family of late Usifo Ataga, Rickey Tarfa & Co, has issued a statement warning social media
users that have been publishing hateful write-ups against Mrs. Brenda Ataga, the wife of the late CEO of Super Network
Limited and Super Television, Usifo
Ataga, to desist from the atrocious act. The statement, entitled ‘Libelous Publications In Respect of Murder
Of Michael Usifo Ataga: Demand For Restraint By Social Media Practitioners/Persons,’
urged those behind malicious social media publications to refrain from
publishing falsehood that impinges negatively on the integrity of the deceased,
wife, and children or face lawsuits.
The statement, signed by Olusegun Jolaawo (SAN), on behalf of
the law firm, read: “We hereby admonish the publishers of these stories to employ
whatever shreds of decency and decorum they can find in themselves to desist
from their false and misleading stories and let the investigating authorities
carry out an effective investigation in the hope of apprehending the
perpetrators of this heinous crime and their accomplices. Yes, we know that
Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu has been arrested and yes we know that investigation is
continuing. Our client is, however, convinced that there is much more to this
than is already apparent from the police investigation.”
The statement noted that there
are several malicious publications in circulation planted to embarrass and
malign Mr. Ataga, his wife, Brenda, and their family “and to serve as a
smokescreen to enable the perpetrators of the heinous crime cover their tracks.
