Super TV CEO’s murder: Police arrest more suspects

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu on Wednesday disclosed that the police have arrested more suspects in connection with the murder of Super TV Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Usifo Ataga.

Odumosu said this at a news conference and parade of 1,320 hoodlums and miscreants at the Police Command, Ikeja, Lagos.

He did not disclose the number of people arrested but said investigation was still ongoing.

Odumosu said the prime suspect, Chidinma Ojukwu, 21, was still a suspect with her rights guaranteed by the constitution, dismissing insinuations the police were attempting to give her a soft landing.

Odumosu said: “We have established a case of conspiracy in the murder and we have arrested more suspects.”

However, the police commissioner said recently, the Command established some tactical units to conform with and tackle the new dimensions of social vices in the state.

“This has paid off. Many cases that were recorded have been unravelled while many suspects arrested have been prosecuted. Isolated cases of robbery in traffic have also been tackled.

“The perennial gridlock in the city is attributable to numerous road rehabilitations that are simultaneously going on in almost all parts of the city.

“The effect of this on robbery in traffic is being adequately taken care of by the command The tactical teams and other science-based units of the Command have put their resources together to reduce these menaces to their barest minimum in Lagos State, since no society is absolutely free of crimes,” he said.
