“Who are you looking for?’’ a gateman howled as he partly opened a gate to peep at our correspondent on Thursday. Seeing that the ‘intruder’ was not one of the tenants in the building, he firmly bolted the gate and walked farther into the compound.

The building, on 57 Akinwunmi Street, Alagomeji, Yaba, attracted attention after an occupant, Chidinma Ojukwu, who lived in the place with her father, was arrested and paraded by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly stabbing the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, to death at a service apartment they lodged in the Lekki area of the state.

The suspect, said to be a 300 level student at the Department of Mass Communication, University of Lagos, is in police custody. The police noted that casual workers cleaning the apartment discovered Ataga’s remains in the place the next day.

A few houses from the suspect’s residence is a health centre and the two storey building painted in brown and white colour has two gates and faces a church. The Ojukwus were said to have lived downstairs. Some residents told our correspondent that the suspect’s father had yet to return home after he was released by the police. He was earlier arrested alongside his daughter for obstructing cops who came to apprehend the suspect.

Our correspondent who loitered around the area for about four hours mingled with some residents who discussed the issue.

One of them, an unidentified lady, said the suspect lived quietly with her father in the building, adding that her lifestyle probably changed at a point. Some others described her as a calm, young lady who faced her business. A woman who sells drinks on the street said, “Like my other customers, she buys things and leaves. I don’t know her closely.’’

Another unnamed woman said many of them in the area were shocked to see Chidinma paraded on TV for alleged murder of Ataga. She added, ‘My husband and I watched the news and saw her paraded by the police. We were surprised. Everyone around knows her. Her father has other children.’’

Our correspondent also observed that some people in the vicinity cast glances at the building as they passed. A resident who identified herself as a family member of the Ojukwus, who wore worried looks, rhetorically asked our correspondent what would be the lady’s fate.

Poor investigative journalism.

The likes of David Hundeyin and Fasomyibo would have given us well-detailed information about the murderer.

What has her neighborhood got to do with the disgusting senile daughter of Jezebel?

See news, Nigerian reporters are useless

This is the news for entire week.

Leave the poor girl alone. Na self defense

Nobody is good a person, the day you fully accept this fact you will start escaping unnecessary danger and situation that will destroy or kill you. We are full of shit and we live all our life to try and hide our shitty part. On a norms Ataga was supposed to have used her for ritual purpose or eff her off after going out with her once, that was weakness from his part and he paid a heavy price with his life. Never trust anybody, it doesn't matter, they have the same evil thought going on in your brain. Kill before you get killed.

This should be a lesson to all men. Turn to Jesus today.

To the bible thumper above me, Even those that have your Jesus get killed, pastors get killed with Jesus no where to be found to save them, some even inside a church where according to your bible is place of refuge. You hypocrites should continue, with all your religion and Jesus your country is still worse and riddled with corruption

Her fate is jail time. I pray they dont scatter her punna***

Bloggers oooo!! Bloggers!!!

What is it with arresting a culprit's kin? Did the father give her the knife or is he an accomplice of some sort? They claimed he was obstructing... Lies, his bail money was the motive. NPF, a reflection of the failed state...

That girl is finished because as it stands now she's going to be charged for murder and the punishment too is that she's going to spend the rest of her life behind bars (section 320 criminal code)

Hmmm, God will direct all sundry

Mumu

Na just a bad business day for both the murdered and the murderer.
If the man was violent as she claimed, y didn't she just leave.
I understand some men get violent with their women, see it as a fetish or being domineering. Her case the man thought he could possess her, but it went south.
If she took that day as a bad business day and left, she wldnt have been here now.
