Don’t allow Chidinma to die in custody - Reps tell IGP

The House of Representatives has said Chidinma Ojukwu, the suspected killer of the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, must not die in the custody of the Nigeria Police Force.

The House also called on the police to conduct a proper investigation into the matter and refrain from granting interviews.

The House further called on the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to ensure that there was no violation of human rights and media access to arrested persons in the future.

In addition, the House said the IG must ensure that “Ms Ojukwu (the accused) does not die in custody or commit suicide while awaiting trial as in some past cases.”
