Chidinma Ojukwu, the principal suspect in the murder of SuperTV CEO Micheal Ataga, has been crowned Miss Cell 2022.
The suspect, whose trial is ongoing, won the beauty pageant held at Kirikiri correctional facility.
The event was to mark the 2022 International Women’s Day.
However, Chidinma won the most beautiful and creative female inmate.
Mixed feelings have trailed the emergence of Chidinma Ojukwu as Miss Cell 2022.
Nigerians took to social media to air their opinions on the development.
A social media user Olushola Olufemi said: “You see this life is not in any way balanced. I just want to beg you to please try not to bring topic related to gender inequality on this space cos I’m fu**king sure that a guy that is alleged of murder can’t get this type of treatment in a Nigeria correctional.”
@NaijaShallWe: “They really shouldn’t have televised this, as it comes out as insensitive and inconsiderate. Well people might argue correctional facility activities, I’m just wondering if will keep the same energy when an alleged ritualistic is doing Mr mancho.”
Emmy Josh on her part said: “That is why the prison is referred to as a correctional facility so that whatever crime prisoners(alleged or confirmed) committed can be corrected through the different social, educative and religious programs there. Programmes like this give their lives meaning again.”
Another commentator said: “A good development, giving them a sense of belonging.”
