LAGOS – The authorities of the University of Lagos are making consideration for the suspension of Ms. Chidinma Ojukwu, a 300-level student, who allegedly stabbed the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, Mr. Usifo Ataga, to death.
Sources in the university, on Friday, said that the student’s action was contrary to the provisions of the institution’s Students Handbook and would be suspended.

He added that the suspect would at least be suspended till the outcome of the police investigation.
Another professor, a dean in one of the faculties in the university also noted that the student would not be able to escape suspension based on the alleged behavior.
He said, “We don’t just suspend like that. A committee will examine the situation, including the video where she confessed before taking a decision. But I do not think she can escape suspension.’’
Chidinma, a 300-level student in UNILAG’s Department of Mass Communication, had on Thursday confessed to stabbing Ataga to death while being paraded at the state police command headquarters, Ikeja, Lagos State.
When she was paraded in Lagos, the 21-year-old Chidinma also confessed to withdrawing N380,000 from the deceased’s account to pay her school fees.
