Aribemchukwu, the daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, was found dead at her Parkview Estate home in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State on Wednesday morning.
Aribemchukwu, popularly known as Chuchu, was found dead outside the gate of her residence. A family member, requesting anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the situation, revealed that her body was found this morning after she was allegedly killed the previous night.
The source indicated suspicions surrounding recently hired household staff, suggesting they might be responsible for the crime. “It would appear that new household staff might have been responsible and tried to stage as if she was outside when it happened,” the source explained.
“There are signs of an attempt to clean up blood inside the house and in the compound. This was indeed the handiwork, and we observe that they were newly employed less than a month, and she was alone in the house with them. We all need to be super careful. Especially with new hire,” he added.
Confirming the tragic event, Lagos State Police spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that the body has been recovered and three suspects have been apprehended.
“Our men have arrested three people in connection to the murder of the daughter of Justice Ajumogobia at her residence in Parkview Estate. One of them is a driver, and the other two are maids. We are investigating and will further inform the public on our outcome,” he said.
Aribemchukwu, a doctor by profession, had recently married before this unfortunate event.
