Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia’s daughter, Aribemchukwu, has tragically lost her life.

The deceased, popularly called Chuchu, was allegedly murdered at her home in Parkview Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos State, on Wednesday morning.

A family source who sought anonymity because of the family’s current state said she was killed last night, and her body was discovered this morning outside the gate of her residence.

The source said: “It would appear that new household staff might have been responsible and tried to stage as if she were 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.”

The state command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the murder, adding that three suspects are in custody in relation to her death, and also confirmed the body retrieval.

According to Hundeyin, the three suspects arrested in connection with Aribemchukwu’s murder were members of her domestic staff.

He said: “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.”

Aribemchukwu was a medical doctor who had recently tied the knot when she passed away.
