ARIBEMCHUKWU, the daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, has been killed.
The deceased, popularly called Chuchu, was reportedly killed in her Parkview Estate residence in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State on Wednesday morning.
A family source who craved anonymity because of the current state of the family said she was killed last night, and her body was discovered this morning outside the gate of her residence.
“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 to PUNCH Online in a telephone conversation 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.
