Three Domestic Staff Arrested Over Killing of Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia’s Daughter in Lagos
Chukwu, the daughter of Soboma and Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, has been found dead under suspicious circumstances outside their home in Parkview Estate, Lagos.
The medical professional was discovered lifeless near the gate of their residence on Wednesday, July 31. Initial investigations suggest a grim scenario involving newly employed domestic staff, who had joined the household less than a month ago.
Sources revealed that these staff members might have staged the scene to imply that Chukwu was outside the house at the time of the incident. However, evidence of an attempted cleanup of blood inside the house and within the compound suggests otherwise, hinting at a potentially different narrative.
Chukwu’s father, Soboma Ajumogobia, is the younger brother of Odein Ajumogobia, a former Minister of State for Petroleum and later a former Minister of Foreign Affairs.
A source close to the investigation stated, “Her body was discovered this morning outside the gate to their house. It appears 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.”
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrests of three domestic staff in connection with the death.
“Three domestic staff have been arrested and handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department, which has since taken over the investigation. Chukwu, 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,” Hundeyin disclosed.
He added that the arrests were made following directives from Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, to thoroughly investigate the death.
