The petition learn partly, “That your officers forthwith re-investigate the whole Usifo homicide case extra correctly and extra professionally, and hand over the findings of its investigations to the Lagos State DPP to correctly and formally re-arraign Chidinma Ojukwu; and the opposite co-accused persons who had already been charged earlier than a Chief Magazineistrate Court docket and hurriedly granted bail.
“These are the individuals of Babalola Disu; Ojukwu(Chidinma’salleged fatheror ‘sugar daddy’); Jessica Egbochi; Abayomi Olutayo; and Ifeoluwa Olowu; and some other particular person(s) whom the police investigation should still throw up as having been linked to Usifo’s beastly and cold-blooded homicide”.

“Such parades even have the un-salutary impact of negatively impacting on our societal values and the morals of Nigerians, particularly the youths, who could erroneously, however unwittingly, be maintain Chidinma as a heroine”, the household wrote.
