A 21-year-old student of the University of Lagos identified as Chidinma, has been arrested and paraded for allegedly killing the Chief Executive Officer, Super TV, Usifo Ataga, in Lagos.
Recall that some days ago, news made the rounds that the SUPER TV boss was murdered in a Lekki Apartment, and the suspect also used his ATM cards to withdraw funds from his account after the gruesome act.
Chidinma has now given some closure as to why she committed the crime.
She told newsmen ;
We were in the lodge smoking. He was trying to make advances on me. I was tired and he became violent on it. I let him have his way. Towards afternoon, he ordered roofies. We took it together and ate food. He became high. I was still not happy with the first one (sex) that we had, so, I was staying on my own, smoking and drinking. He, too, was on his own.
“He came to me and I was like I am not happy with what he did. I was like, ‘You don’t help me, you don’t assist me with anything, you are just playing with me around’. He was like, ‘Take my ATM and withdraw what you want’.
“He later became violent trying to get to me and I was resisting and defending myself. At some point, he hit my head on the wall and I also retaliated.
“At some point, he was chasing me around the kitchen cabinet. I took a knife and stabbed his neck. I approached the door and he followed me. I stabbed him twice on the neck side. I threw the knife to the bed and he was going for it but I also went for it. He dragged the knife with me and it broke and he fell on the floor.”
It’s believed that the mistress carried out the murder as security guards at the rentals confirmed that no third party had visited the lovers besides a dispatch rider, who is suspected to have brought the lethal drug to the mistress.

A 30-year-old India based Nigerian man has died after was reportedly held captive and starved for eight months by his landlord.
It was gathered that the victim identified as Michael Emenike Madueke, couldn’t pay his rent during the pandemic, and his landlord evicted him and locked him up without food in another apartment.
Madueke was found bedridden and malnourished by police in the apartment located at Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad. Unfortunately he lost his life on the way to the hospital.
A Facebook page, @Un-Fair Web who shared the story on the platform wrote,
“Michael Emenike Madueke (30 years) a Nigerian citizen was (allegedly)locked up by his landlord due to non-payment of 6 months rent during the pandemic in Raj Nagar extension, Ghaziabad. He was evicted from his rental apartment and held against his rights and wishes for close to 8 months in another apartment (SG Impressions) by the landlord. Here, he was regularly beaten up and kept without food and only water. When his brother in Nigeria transferred Rs. 42000.00 to the landlord (Mr. Omveer Rahul) his state of incarceration and treatment was discovered.
During his transport to the hospital on being rescued (between Apex hospital and AIIMS) he succumbed to the ill-treatment and died. An FIR is yet to be filed by the police at the station”.
Meanwhile, a Nigerian activist, Kennedy alleged that the deceased, an auto parts dealer died from abuse and starvation after he was held against his wishes for about 8 months in the apartment by his India landlord.
In videos of Emenike’s rescue that was recorded by Nigerian Citizens Welfare Association, a group of expats headed by Kennedy, the victim who already looked extremely lean and pale is heard saying “He wants more money everyday.”
Kennedy said Michael’s family in Nigeria had sent Rs 42,000 in two instalments to Rahul. It is not clear how much Michael owed Rahul.
“We have not filed a formal police complaint yet as we are waiting for what his family and the Nigerian High Commission tell us,” He added.
However, the police said they had not yet found evidence to back up the charge. No external injuries were found by a doctor who first attended to him.
The report from the emergency department of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences recorded “MICHEAL” (sic) a 30 years old male, ‘BROUGHT DEAD, PENDING INVESTIGATION” at 8.08 pm.
Infinix has successfully positioned itself as one of the Fastest-Growing Mobile Phone Brands in Africa and recently released the Infinix Note 10 Pro — which matched the leaks reported by the XDA blog.
Another leak from the XDA blog reveals that Infinix might be releasing a phone with a 160W charging capacity. Earlier in the month, the XDA blog reported that Infinix’s next phone could support super-fast 160W charging, and now they have released images of an upcoming Infinix phone with an interesting design.
The Image above shows off an upcoming Infinix phone, which appears to have at least two cameras (though one could be a depth sensor), a USB Type-C port, stereo speakers, and a 3D glass display with a hole-punch camera in the top-left corner.
At the back of the phone, it has the inscription of the word ‘NOW’ in bold letters. Which looks a bit like the Realme GT 5G and Realme 8 Pro. The XDA blog reports that, all this has happened before, and all this will happen again.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much information about the phone except the image above. There is no information about the internal hardware or the name of the phone. It is possible that the 160W charger infinix is working on is for this device, at the same time, it is also possible that it is not.
Infinix recently released the Note 10 Pro, a budget flagship with a MediaTek Helio G95 chipset, 6.95-inch 90Hz LCD screen, and an Android 11. Maybe they’re working on another device entirely or maybe it’s a phone. We’d just have to keep our fingers crossed and see what next Infinix has in store for us.

In her words ;
Please, everyone should appeal to him to sign the divorce papers. He has even refused to accept them. We are still married and not yet divorced. The divorce is not yet finalised. Maybe I should use this medium to appeal, you guys should help me beg him to let me go.
We are still legally married. This man refused to sign the divorce papers and he has refused to appear in court. I don’t know the legal term for this but my lawyer had to appeal to the court for them to permit us to paste the papers on his gate. That is what they did to him.
Four appearances and this man refused to show up before the court went on strike. Now that the courts have resumed, the case is back to court. He has refused to even show up.
