The murder case was formerly handled by a lower court presided over by Chief Magistrate Adeola Adedayo until a legal advice from the DPP demanded that the case should be handed over to the High Court.

Also, based on the legal advice issued by DPP Director, Mrs. Olayinka Adeyemi, 11 suspects have been cleared of complicity in the murder of the Super TV boss while Chidinma and the two others were to be tried in the High court.

The DPP’s statement read in part, “After careful consideration of facts available in the case, this office is of the firm view that a prima facie case of conspiring to murder, murder, conspiracy to commit felony to wit; forgery, forgery and making documents without authority contrary to sections 233, 222, 411, 363 and 370 respectively of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, exists against Ojukwu Chindinma Adaora and Adedapo Quadri”.
