Super-Tv CEO’s murder: “Chidinma disowned her widowed mother and started smoking at age 11” – Family member 

More facts about the identity of Chidinma Ojukwu who has confessed to the cold murder of SuperTv CEO, Usifo Ataga keeps unfolding.

Usifo Ataga was stabbed several times by Chidinma Ojukwu as confessed. The murder scene was in a service apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State.

According to Vanguard, family sources claim that Chidinma is not from a broken home as stated earlier. It was disclosed that the accused disowned her widowed mother many years ago. It was also claimed that her first fall out with her family was when she changed her name from Chidinma Blessing Echefu to Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu.

One of her siblings identified simply as Chioma told detectives that they lost their father when Chidinma was barely two years old. Her mother was said to have remarried but that her children were still with her. Along the line, Chidinma’s lifestyle reportedly changed negatively with her mother always scolding her. She was alleged to have been discovered to be smoking when she was barely 11 years, an action that provoked her mother to chastise her.

According to the family sources, the misunderstanding between Chidinma and her mum continued, forcing her to take the then-teenage Chidinma to her Uncle’s house in Mushin where she was reportedly thrown out again because of her smoking attitude. She was said to have become rebellious and stayed away from her family.  It was at this point that she met  Ojukwu, who took her into his Yaba abode, from where she was picked last week Wednesday.

Her mother who presently resides in the Mowe area of Ogun State was said to have told some of her relatives that she has not set her eyes on Chidinma for 10 years.  Childinma’s sister, Chioma, corroborated this claim when she visited the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence  Department, SCIID, Yaba.

She stated categorically that the Ojukwu who she was arrested alongside last week Wednesday was not related to her family, disclosing that they were from Imo State and not Abia State as earlier disclosed by Chidinma.

Chidinma is currently cooling her heels at the State Criminal Investigation Department SCID Lagos.
