The 22-year-old student of the University of Lagos was arraigned before Justice Yetunde Adesanya of the Lagos State High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square.
Chidinma, who is the prime suspect in the crime, was arraigned alongside one Adedapo Quadri and her sister, Egbuchu Chioma, from whom Ataga’s phone was recovered.
Both Chidinma and Adedapo pleaded not guilty to eight counts bordering on the offences of murder, forgery and stealing.

Recall that Chidinma Ojukwu was arrested on June 24 for the murder of Ataga at a short let apartment in Lagos.
She had confessed to killing the SuperTV boss in an act of self-defence.
However, she retracted her statement during an interview with Crime Fighters and claimed that she only took his ATM card to withdraw some money from his account.
