Aribemchukwu, the daughter of a judge of the Federal High Court, 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 said she was killed on Tuesday night, and her body was discovered the next 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 their 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 added.
In a telephone conversation on Wednesday, the state command’s spokesperson, Superintendent Benjamin Hundeyin said the body has been recovered, and three suspects have been arrested in connection to her death.
He 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.
Aribemchukwu was a doctor and had recently married.
Her father, Soboma, is the younger brother of a former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Barrister Odein Ajumogobia.
