Super TV Managing Director, Usifo Ataga who died in controversial circumstances the police said they were still investigating has been buried in Ikoyi, Lagos.
Ataga was interred at Ebony Vaults yesterday afternoon in what family members who lamented that he was undeserving of such a cruel fate called “low key” burial.
Though the ceremony appeared an open one, some people who claimed to be family members firmly but coolly insisted that some aspects of the solemn ceremony were not for public consumption and gently enforced the same.
The 50-year-old media magnate was discovered dead in an apartment at Adebowale Oshin Street, Leekki Phase 1 where he allegedly went for a tryst with one 21-year-old Chidinma Ojukwu said to be a 300 level student of the University of Lagos.
Chidinma, according to the police, was later arrested in their apartment at Yaba before she confessed to having had a minor scuffle with the late Ataga before he was stabbed.
She allegedly claimed they had done some drugs and were high before the misunderstanding that led to the death of Ataga.
However, the police claimed to have made more arrests on the matter, fuelling some speculations that Chidinma may not have acted alone in the demise of Ataga.
She was alleged to have used the late Ataga’s ATM to withdraw various sums of money.
