Following the parade of Chidinma Ojukwu the prime suspect in the murder of Super TV CEO Usifo Ataga on Thursday, details have emerged showing the police also arrested her father on Wednesday night.
A top police source who craved anonymity told PUNCH that Mr Ojukwu was arrested alongside his daughter at his residence at 57 Akinwunmi Street, Alagomeji, Yaba.
The source said Ojukwu resisted his daughter’s arrest violently. He is being detained at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba.
“He never believed that his daughter committed any crime until Thursday,” the source said.
The suspect’s parents do not live together, the source added.
Chidinma told the news media that she stabbed Mr Ataga twice in the neck and once in the stomach after a fight broke out when she resisted another round of sex.
The 21-year-old subsequently withdrew N380,000 from the victim’s bank account with his ATM card, saying she wanted to pay her school fees.
