Chidinma called to ask about late Ataga’s Range Rover, Security Man tells Court

The security man, Abubakar Mohammed, in charge of the service apartment where SUPER TV CEO, Michael Usifo Ataga was allegedly murdered, told Lagos High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square, TBS, that Chidinma Ojukwu called him to ask about late Ataga’s Range Rover.

Mohammed, who was testifying before Justice Yetunde Adesanya, narrated on Tuesday, how he recorded the conversation he had with Chidinma.

He said that after his madam, Nkechi Mogbo (the owner of the apartment), had gone to SCID Panti alongside the victim’s family at about a minute to 6 p.m., which was a Thursday, Chidinma, who had been calling him with a private number, called him with her personal number.

He said that the call only lasted 10 seconds and that he just said ‘hello’ and after about 10 seconds, she changed to the private number mode and his mind told him to record the conversation.

“I said ‘Hello, hello. Who is this?’ The first defendant (Chidinma) said ‘It’s me’.

“I asked her why she was calling me with a private number. She said ‘Sorry’.

“Before this, she had asked me about the man’s car. She asked if the car was around.

“I said ‘which car?’. She said ‘the Range Rover. That my oga car; the black Range Rover,” the witness said.
