She pretended it was a gift from her boyfriend.
A businessman, Mr Ifeoluwa Oluwo, has described how Chidinma Ojukwu sold him the laptop of slain Super TV CEO Michael Ataga for N495,000 two days after his body was discovered.
Ataga was accused of murdering Chidinma, a student in Mass Communication 300, at the University of Lagos.
Adedapo Quadri, along with Adedapo Quadri and Chioma Egbuchu, is on trial before Justice Yetunde Adesanya of the Lagos State High Court in Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos State.
At Computer Village in Ikeja, Lagos, Oluwo, who has been with the company for five years, sells cell phones, laptops, and accessories.
He claims that after seeing Chidinma on social media following the laptop sale, he immediately safeguarded all of her documents.
The witness identified Chidinma as a customer who purchased a phone on April 30 and sold a laptop on June 18 at the same office.
Oluwo stated that Chidinma sold him a MacBook Pro laptop for N495,000 on June 18 after discussions and a market value comparison. To make a sale, you must submit several documents and fill out a form, including your government identification card, driver’s license, international passport, voter’s card, and national identity number.
“You must also fill out a form with your email address, phone number, mailing address, and full name.” It will also include the item’s name, serial number, and total value for that day.
“This is how we notify customers when there are issues.”
“I requested Chidinma to open the laptop, and she complied.” As a result, I conducted my internal investigation, which included examining the speed performance, battery cycle count, and overall operation.
Then I asked questions such as, “Do you have a receipt for this laptop?
She claimed it was a gift from her boyfriend and that she was selling one of her two laptops to cover expenses.
In the course of my market analysis, I visited a website. I determined the laptop’s value. It varied between $1,000 and $1,200. She desired a sale price of N600,000. The dollar exchange rate was N400 to N450 at the time. We agreed on N495k, which I transferred from my UBA account to her Sterling account.
Oluwo responded that she could not produce the laptop receipt because Chidinma had claimed the device was a gift from her boyfriend.
After selling the laptop, her face was discovered on social media during a murder investigation. A few days later, the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, invited my manager, Olutayo Abayomi, to a meeting
“When I arrived at the police station, I realised it had to do with the laptop we bought from Chidinma on June 18,”
“Each of us issued a statement detailing how we acquired and paid for the laptop.”
“We gave the police the prior owner’s documentation, including a copy of her voter’s card, a copy of our form, and all receipts containing her information on the laptop,”
Oluwo stated, “We have no way of knowing if a phone or laptop has been stolen.”
Chidinma’s attorney, Onwuka Egbu, inquired if the witness had been given any documentation, receipts, or proof of ownership to demonstrate that the laptop did not belong to the first defendant at Panti. Still, the witness responded that he had not.
Justice Adesanya adjourned the case until November 29 to continue the trial.
