The bereaved family however did not speak on its position on the outcome of the ongoing investigation into Usifo’s murder.
Global Village Extra had reported that Ataga was found dead in an apartment at Lekki last month.
He was murdered few days to his 50th birthday.
Following his death, Lagos Police Command arrested a 21-year-old undergraduate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Chidinma Ojukwu and others in connection with his death.
During the funeral service, which held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Lagos, the officiating priest, Very Rev. Fr. Julius Olaitan, described the deceased as a focused man who achieved many things.
He noted Ataga was a man of many parts that meant many things to different people.
“He was a man with enemies, his manner of death is a testimony to that. It is a duty for those in authorities to do the right thing by finding those who brutally murdered him.
“Who can imagine what Usifo went through in the hands of those who tortured him? We should be mindful of what we say on social media.
“Please spare the family of the good name. Our common humanity demands that from us,” he pleaded.
“Death is a terrifying mystery. We’ve not lost him but we’ve gained a soul in heaven. Usifo is now in a place where he can be with reward of his earthly sojourn,” the cleric added.
