Chidinma Ojukwu – What Manner of ‘Suspect’?

-

This one is not appearing like her colleagues used to appear on crime fighters. This one is all glammed up and sitting pretty. I was kinda amazed to watch a recent interview she granted wherein she sat pretty and looking like an Instagram beauty queen, where she relayed a new version of events leading to the gruesome murder of Mr Ataga. Was I vexed? Kind of. Was I wondering, what the hell is going on? Yes. This person I saw on the report didn’t look like she had a worry in this world. In fact, she was talking like she had just been told that she stood a good chance of winning a lottery rather than be fighting for her life in one of Nigeria’s most celebrated cases. She even smiled, laughed and giggled at some point as she narrated a new version. The whole thing is confusing: the make-up, the new hair, the new sexy clothes. One is not saying that her rights be taken from her after all last I checked was that you are innocent until proven guilty. But this one was just overboard. What else can we do but to be watching na? Truth no dey hide, it can be playing hide and seek most of the time, but eventually, it will come out, and at that time, all eyes will be opened. For now, na to dey siddon look we dey. Na wa.
