Nigerian rapper, Mo’Cheddah has urged Nigerians to desist from cruelly judging Chidinma Ojukwu, the alleged killer of Super TV’s CEO, Michael Usifo Ataga for her involvement in the 2022 Miss Cell pageant.

On Thursday, March 10, Ripples Nigeria reported that the 21-year-old inmate emerged victorious in the 2022 Miss Cell pageantry, an event that was organized to celebrate the International Women’s Day earlier in the week.

Following news of Chidinma‘s recent achievement, Nigerians expressed outrage on their various social media platforms to debate her involvement in the funfair. Several commentators noted that her involvement should never have been allowed because she is standing trial for the murder of Super TV CEO Michael Usifo Ataga.
