The Unfortunate death of Super TV CEO, Micheal Usifo Ataga who was brutally stabbed to death by his side chic has taken another dimension as his family has reportedly claim that he was tortured before his death.
Ataga was stabbed to death by Miss Chidinma Ojukwu, a 300 level mass communication student of the University of Lagos, last week, in the Lekki area of Lagos.
Meanwhile, his family has called on the Nigerian police to carry out thorough investigation on the matter as an autopsy conducted on his corpse has shed more light on the incident.
The family believes that there are more people involved in the murder. A family source who spoke under conditions of anonymity disclosed that Usifo’s neck was broken and rope marks were seen on his wrist.
The marks on his wrists, suggesting that he could have been bound. A rope suspected to have been used to tie his hands was reportedly found inside the short-let airbnb apartment situated at 19 Adewale Oshin Street in Lekki phase 1.
Elombahnews gathered that the deceased’s elder brother, Dr. Isi Ataga, in a statement entitled: Who will speak for Usifo Ataga?’, also confirmed these findings.
He stated: “Usifo died a horrific death. He was not stabbed two or even five times; he was stabbed multiple times. His hands were bound tightly and the marks were still all over his wrists, accompanied with evidence of torture and assault even as his corpse lay in the morgue.”
And no one in the entire building heard his screams because he was gagged. Let that sink in, he was bound, gagged and tortured!”
“The now-viral video of the room with the deceased lying on the floor shows a room with blood-stained walls and floor, evidence of a ferocious struggle. One person could never have carried these out.”
