The House of Representatives have kicked against the multiple media interviews of Chidinma Ijukwu, the prime suspect in the murder of Super TV CEO, Mr. Usifo Ataga.
Chidinma Ojukwu, a 300-level Mass Communication student of the University of Lagos was arrested on Wednesday, June 23, 2021, over the alleged murder of the Super TV CEO, Mr. Usifo Ataga, in the Lekki area of Lagos.
She has since been subjected to various rounds of press conferences and multiple interviews.
However, the House during plenary yesterday, July 13, expressed concern that since the arrest of Chidinma, she has been paraded around, granting interviews to various several news platforms, thereby causing the internet and news media to be agog with the discussion and dissecting the matter. They, however, asked the police to ensure that there is no repeat of violation of human rights such as media access to arrested persons in the future to avoid compromising the case in a court of law.
According to the motion moved by the member representing Oluyole federal constituency of Oyo State, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, the law of Nigeria does not allow for social media trials and matters that are sub-judice (meaning before the court or not yet judicially decided) are not to be discussed by the media
In her words ;
“Cognizant that Section 36/5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) provides that every person who is charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed to be innocent until he is proven guilty. Thus so long Ms Ojukwu has not been proven guilty by the court of competent jurisdiction, she is not to be labeled a criminal or paraded about to conduct series of interviews on a case currently under investigation. Rather, the police are to conduct a proper investigation and allow the court to consider the matter and make an informed judgment.”

“#TheGeneral is 1 today, and I’m crying such happy tears! 😭😭😭
I’m always going to give you a little story with my babies lol.
I remember Captain and I had a brief conversation about having another baby, and I was like yes when Chairman turns 1 in December.
I guess God was like great idea, because as we were trying to figure when we should start trying, we found out we were already pregnant!
This was a few weeks after my dad died, so I was super emotional….in fact throughout the whole pregnancy.
Covid then hit, and I kept thinking how am I going to do this…but God was with us throughout.
Captain did everything he could, but he couldn’t make it for General’s birth. I was in gangsta mode, and knew I had to be prepared to do it by myself if need be. Thankfully my sister @simply_y_gee came through. Covid rules were strict, and she had to leave about an hour after General arrived, and I wasn’t allowed any visitors for the rest of my stay in the hospital.
This pregnancy was definitely a bit trickier than Chairman’s, but it all thankfully ended in praise!!!
Super thankful God, family & friend for all their support. We are eternally grateful.

“I called my friend, and I told her that her boyfriend was around but she said she wasn’t coming back because she had issues with him. Since he’s someone I know, I left the room for him and gave him the key, and I traveled to Yenagoa.

Nollywood actress Linda Osifo has explained why most women in the movie industry are seemingly more successful than their male colleagues.
Speaking during an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Rubbing Minds, the actress noted women in the industry are open to more avenues of making extra incomes than males.
In her words ;
“As a woman compared to a man I have more options to get more jobs than a man. I can advertise hair, wigs, shoes and a wide range of clothes from brands which most men cannot. The ratio of men to women is 1:3 which makes the market wider for us.
“I’ve become a brand ambassador to skincare brands and that’s an industry that men don’t dominate and conquer so this is how women are more successful. Women have more opportunities to make money.”
