Wonders they say, shall never end if the viral news of how a side chic murdered a Nigerian billionaire is anything to go by.
Viral information revealed how the said side chic allegedly, drugged and stabbed Super TV CEO and Nigerian billionaire Michael Usifo Ataga to death in Lagos
The Director of Super Network Limited, a telecoms firm, Ataga who resides in Banana Island was reported missing on recently by concerned friends and family after all efforts to reach him proved abortive.
According to Street Journal, an online news platform, checks at his Victoria Island office showed he wasn’t there either and this put everyone in a panic mode including his wife and children who reside in Abuja. Unfortunately, his lifeless body was found in a flat in Lekki phase 1 with multiple stable wounds after several withdrawals were made from his account.
Reports stated that, Usifo who would have been 50 years old today had met a girl about two weeks ago and they began a relationship. This despite the fact that he is married to a manager in Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. He felt more comfortable meeting with his side chic outside his home and hers, to prevent nosy neighbours from prying, rented an Airbnb in Lekki, Lagos where they both checked into before the unfortunate incidence.
Following his disappearance, a combined team of concerned friends, family members, the police and DSS operatives all the way from Abuja through the concerted efforts of the wife, tracked down the owner of the Airbnb, who received payment from the side chic’s bank account into which Ataga had previously made a transfer for the payment to.
The apartment was broken into and that was where he was found dead with multiple stabs in his neck, chest and thigh. Meanwhile, the side chick had withdrawn N5 million from his account before they killed Ataga.
Apparently, the side chic carried out the murder after she must have drugged him as the security guards at the rentals said no 3rd party came visiting Ataga and the side chic besides a dispatch rider who brought drugs for the girl.
The side chic who was last seen on Tuesday when the murder happened, was equally tracked down and arrested alongside the owner of the Airbnb.
It was said, after the side chic left the apartment following his gruesome death, money began to disappear from Ataga’s Guaranty Trust Bank account. A mail from Ataga’s email address asking for a change in his account details, stop further withdrawal as GTBank put an embargo on the account to prevent any further withdrawal.
Investigations is still on and the case is still unfolding.
