A short video of how a mistress drugged and stabbed Super TV Chief executive and Nigerian billionaire Michael Usifo Ataga to death in Lagos has surfaced in the social media.

Michael Usifo Ataga, the Chief Executive Officer of Super TV, and a director in Super Network Limited, a telecoms firm, was gruesomely murdered by an alleged mistress.  Ataga who resides in Banana Island was reported missing on Sunday by concerned friends and family after all efforts to reach him proved abortive.

Checks at his Victoria Island office showed he wasn’t there either and this put everyone in a panic mode including his wife and children who reside in Abuja. Unfortunately, his lifeless body was found this morning in a flat in Lekki phase 1 with multiple stable wounds after several withdrawals were made from his account.

Usifo who would have been 50 years old sometime last week had met a girl about two weeks ago and they began a relationship. This despite the fact that he is married to a manager in Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

Usifo who felt more comfortable meeting with his mistress outside his home and hers, to prevent nosey neighbours from prying, rented an Airbnb in Lekki, Lagos where they both checked into before the unfortunate incidence.

Following his disappearance, a combined team of concerned friends, family members, the police and DSS operatives all the way from Abuja through the concerted efforts of the wife, tracked down the owner of the Airbnb, who received payment from the bank account belonging to the mistress into which Ataga had previously made a transfer for the payment to.

Usifo who would have have been 50 years old sometime last week had met a girl about two weeks ago and they began a relationship. This despite the fact that he is married to a manager in Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

The apartment was broken into and that was where he was found dead with multiple stabs in his neck, chest and thigh.

The mistress withdrew N5 million from his account before they killed Ataga.

Apparently, the mistress carried out the murder after she must have drugged him as the security guards at the rentals said no 3rd party came visiting Atage and the mistress besides a dispatch rider who brought drugs for the girl.

The mistress who was last seen on Tuesday when the murder happened, was equally tracked down and arrested alongside the owner of the Airbnb.

Many of Ataga’s friends have expressed as to how the mistress was able to pull the dastardly act all alone as Ataga was said to have been an amateur boxer who was very strong.

After the mistress left the apartment following his gruesome death, money began to disappear from Atage’s Guaranty Trust Bank account and it was an email from Ataga’s email address asking  for a change in his account details, did the withdrawals stop.

With this, GTBank had placed an embargo on the account to prevent any further withdrawal. Investigations is still on and the case is still unfolding.
