THe Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has yesterday apologized to the family of Usifo Ataga, the late SUPER TV CEO allegedly murdered in a hotel by an undergraduate of the University of Lagos, Chidinma Ojukwu.
The service explained that the authorities had no intention of glamourising criminality or injuring the sensibilities of the Atagas’ in their moments of grief.
The NCoS said it was aware of the backlashes generated by the “Miss Cell 2022” beauty pageant organised at the Kirikiri facility in Lagos to mark this year’s International Women’s Day Celebration.
Chindima Ojukwu who is facing trials for the murder of Usifo Ataga won the contest.
The contest generated uproar across the country with people raising concerns on why the event attracted wide publicity.
“The attention of the NCoS has been drawn to concerns raised in some quarters with respect to the recent events held at the Kirikiri Female Custodial Centre in Lagos to mark the International Women’s Day and note, with deep regrets, the unintended interpretations it has elicited from different quarters.
“For the records, psychosocial engagements have traditionally been part of the Service’s inmates treatment regimes designed to provide emotional stability needed to promote total well-being of inmates and enhance safe custody”, the statement partly reads.
