Aribemchukwu Ajumogobia, a medical doctor and daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, has been found dead.
Her body was discovered on Wednesday morning outside the gate of the family’s residence at Parkview Estate, Ikoyi Lagos.
Lagos police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the incident, adding that three domestic staff of the family have been arrested in connection with the death.
He said, “Three domestic staff have been arrested and handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department, which has since taken over the investigation. Aribemchukwu, daughter of Justice Ofili-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.”
According to Hundeyin, the suspects’ arrest followed a directive from the commissioner of police Adegoke Fayoade.
Those arrested, Hundeyin said, are a driver and two maids.
A source quoted by Vanguard said, “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.”
The deceased recently got married.
