Murder: I didn’t report Ataga’s death due to fear, says Chidinma

Chidinma Ojukwu, a 300-level student of the University of Lagos, who is standing trial for the alleged murder of Super TV Chief Executive Officer, Michael Ataga, on Monday, told a Lagos State High Court that she did not report the incident to the police because she was afraid.

Chidinma, in her defence before Justice Yetunde Adesanya at the Lagos State High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square, explained that she feared being wrongly accused if she reported the crime.

“I had read of incidents where people reported crimes and ended up being accused themselves,” she said.

“I also thought of calling the gateman again while I was at the staircase of the apartment, but I ended the call out of fear.”
