The remains of Late Super TV Chief Executive Officer, Micheal Usifo Ataga, have been buried in  Lagos.

He was buried in a low-key ceremony attended by family members, including his wife and friends who wept Uncontrollably.

The 50-year-old Ataga was murdered in a short let apartment on Adebowale Oshin Street, Lekki Phase I where he had checked in with his lover, 21-year-old Chidinma Ojukwu, a 300-level Mass Communication student at the University of Lagos.

The Lagos State Police Command paraded Chidinma Ojukwu on June 24 as the suspect and she had admitted to stabbing the 50-year-old in the neck with a knife after a disagreement.

During the funeral service, which held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Lagos, the officiating priest, Very Rev. Fr. Julius Olaitan, described the deceased as a focused man who achieved many things.

He noted that Ataga was a man of many parts that meant many things to different people.

“He was a man with enemies, his manner of death is a testimony to that. It is a duty for those in authorities to do the right thing by finding those who brutally murdered him.

“Who can imagine what Usifo went through in the hands of those who tortured him? We should be mindful of what we say on social media.

“Please spare the family of the good name. Our common humanity demands that from us,” he pleaded.

His wife, Brenda Ataga, said news of her husband’s demise was heartbreaking.

“Finding out of your demise was the worst news imaginable. My mind had raced through all the possibilities of where you were and what could have happened but death, death wasn’t an option,” she said.

“The girls and I were looking forward to seeing you, to celebrate your milestone.

“I had imagined how surprised you would be when you walked in to see a place set up for you. I had imagined the infectious smile.”

His eldest brother, Isi Ataga, thanked the church and other sympathisers for standing with the bereaved family through the difficult moment.

The deceased was survived by two daughters — Eboselulu and Emoata.
