The 300-level undergraduate and two others are being arraigned before Justice Yetunde Adesanya of the Lagos High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square.
Chidinma and one Adedapo Quadri, who are the key suspects in the murder case, pleaded not guilty to eight counts bordering on the offences of murder, forgery and stealing.
The two suspects were arraigned alongside Ojukwu’s sister, Egbuchu Chioma from whom the late Ataga’s iPhone 7 was said to have been recovered.
Recall that Chidinma was arrested on June 24, she had initially admitted to killing Usifo after the police found his lifeless body in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds at a hotel in the Lekki area of Lagos.
But contrary to her initial statements that she had stabbed Ataga in self-defence, the 22-year-old later in an interview in July, denied having anything to do with his death.
She explained that while they were lodged together in the short-let apartment, she briefly stepped out to buy some things only to return to his lifeless body.
Chidinma claimed that the only reason she initially took responsibility for the incident was that it was just both of them in the room and she felt that no one would believe her story.
