NLC Strike Stalls Ataga’s Murder Trial

Ataga’s Murder: NLC Strike Stalls Trial

The absence from court of Chidinma Ojukwu, the alleged murder suspect of the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Usifo Ataga, on Tuesday stalled the murder trial proceedings.

She was not brought to court due to the industrial action by Nigeria Labour Congress, which the correctional service also joined.

Ojukwu is standing trial before a Lagos High Court at Tafawa Balewa Square on a nine-count charge bordering on murder, theft and forgery.

She is charged alongside her sister, Chioma Egbuchu, and one Adedapo Quadri.

At the resumed trial on Tuesday, only the third defendant, Egbuchu, was present while Ojukwu and Quadri were not brought to court from the correctional facility.

The defendants were not brought to court due to the industrial action called by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
