The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three domestic staff in connection with the death of Aribemchukwu, the daughter of a Federal High Court Justice, Judge Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia.
The medical doctor, who recently got married, was found dead in questionable circumstances in her Parkview Estate residence in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State on Wednesday morning, July 31, 2024.
A family source alleged that the young female doctor was k!lled on Tuesday night and her remains found on Wednesday 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,” the source said.
“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 hires,” the source said.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident, according to Punch.
Hundeyin who is the spokesperson of the Lagos State Command of Nigeria Police Force (NPF), said the body has been recovered, and three of her domestic staff have also been arrested over the death of Aribemchukwu.
“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 of our outcome,” Hundeyin said.
