Aribemchukwu, the daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, was found dead on Wednesday at the entrance of her parents’ house in Lagos State.
She was found lifeless outside the gate of their house, located in Parkview Estate, at about 6:45am.
Newly employed domestic staff are suspected to be behind the incident.
Although Aribemchukwu’s body was found at the gate of their house, evidence suggests an attempt to clean up blood both inside the house and within the compound.
“Her body was discovered this morning outside the gate to their house. It would appear that new household staff might have been responsible and tried to stage it as if she was outside when it happened. However, signs of an attempt to clean up blood inside the house and in the compound tell a different story,” a source told Vanguard.
When contacted, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident.
He disclosed that three domestic staff have been arrested in connection with the death of the medical professional.
“Three domestic staff (members) have been arrested and handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department, which has since taken over the investigation. Chukwu, daughter of Justice Offili-Ajumogobia, was found lifeless this morning at about 6:45 am at the entrance of her parents’ house on Bembe Street in Parkview Estate, Lagos.” Hundeyin said.
