The magistrate ordered the remand of Ojukwu for 30 days following an application of the police counsel, Cyril Ejiofor. Ojukwu and Ataga, who were lovers, lodged in a service apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State, as the corpse of the latter was discovered the next day in the room.Upon her arrest, the suspect confessed to the crime and blamed her action on the influence of hard drugs and alcohol.

He said, “The remand is to enable the DPP to come up with legal advice. We pray for the remand of the defendants for the first 30 days in the first instance.”
