The ongoing trial of Chidinma Ojukwu, a third-year communications student at the University of Lagos, for the murder of Usifo Ataga, the CEO of Super TV, resumed in a Lagos high court. A key testimony was given by Somiari, director and consultant of the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Center, shedding light on the forensic evidence presented.
Somiari, with over 15 years of experience in forensic science, detailed his analysis of 21 items received from the DNA center staff, which included a stained red dress and an army green T-shirt. Notably, the DNA found on the red dress matched that of the victim, Ataga, while samples from Ojukwu and other suspects did not.
Under cross-examination, details of the toxicology report were discussed, emphasizing the importance of these findings for the investigation. The case involves multiple defendants, including Chidinma Ojukwu and Adedapo Quadri, facing charges ranging from conspiracy to murder and stabbing.
The trial’s outcome has captured public interest, sparking discussions on justice and accountability. This high-profile case underscores the significance of forensic evidence in legal proceedings and the imperative of obtaining reliable evidence for a fair judicial process.
