Brenda Ataga, wife of the slain Super TV CEO has demanded N1 Billion as compensation from a blogger for libellous and malicious report.
Her lawyer, Chief Charles Uwensuyi-Edosomwan (SAN) made these demands in a letter to the Managing Director of the online medium, Mr. Makinde Azeez.
Naijaloaded in a report on June 26, accused Brenda of the murder, citing her relationship with the suspect through Brenda’s boyfriend.
Brenda’s lawyer described the report as callous, malicious and a mindless attack on the personality of their client.
The lawyer stated that the publication described his client as a conniving criminal that was part of the plans that killed her husband, father of her children, a most heinous cunning act.
Uwensuyi-Edosomwan described the report as false for labeling Mrs. Ataga as a loose woman and a flirt, carrying on extramarital affairs with another Mr. Izu.
On the contrary, Brenda is a wife, mother and highly placed official of the Nigerian government.
Uwensuyi-Edosomwan demanded that the story be immediately pulled down.
Recall that Brenda’s husband, Michael Usifo Ataga was found murdered at a Lekki Phase 1 apartment on June 17.
