Super TV CEO: UNILAG VC Speaks On Chidinma, Reveals More Details

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, has admitted that murder suspect Chidinma Ojukwu is a student of the university.

He said this on Wednesday while addressing a press conference on the activities lined up for the 51st (2019) Convocation Ceremony of the institution.

Prof. Ogundipe said regardless of the travails Chidinma faces, the University would not forsake her.

This is unlike the regular trend with tertiary institutions in the country when ‘students’ are being alleged of crimes like murder. Nigerian tertiary institutions are quick to deny such suspects and brand them expelled students or aliens to their institution.

The VC said that the school has been following due process in handling her case so far.

He said since the topic has become a national topic, it is being handled by the police and the institution is handling the administrative aspect of the issue.

Chidinma Ojukwu was paraded days back for the murder of Mr Usifo Ataga, the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV.

She allegedly murdered the victim at a serviced apartment in Lekki, Lagos State, and fled with his ATM card which she used to withdraw over three hundred thousand.
