Aribemchukwu, the daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, has been found dead outside her residence in Parkview Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos.
According to a family source, who wishes to remain anonymous, Aribemchukwu, affectionately known as Chuchu, was killed on Tuesday night, and her body was discovered on Wednesday morning near the gate of her home.
“It would appear that new household staff might have been responsible and tried to stage as if she was outside when it happened.
“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 murder on Wednesday, the state command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the body has been recovered, and three suspects have been arrested in connection to her death.
Hundeyin stressed that the three people arrested in connection to the murder of Aribemchukwu were her domestic staff.
“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.
Until her death, the late Aribemchukwu was a doctor and had recently married.
The circumstances surrounding her death are still unclear, and the family is said to be in a state of shock. Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, a well-known judicial figure, is mourning the loss of her daughter in this tragic incident.
