Domestic worker confesses to murder of Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia’s daughter

A domestic worker of Aribemchukwu, the daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, has confessed to involvement in her murder, according to a police source.

The incident occurred at Parkview Estate in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.

The deceased, known as Chuchu, was reportedly killed on Tuesday night, though her body was discovered outside the gate of her residence on Wednesday morning.

Three domestic employees, including the house help, a security guard, and a driver, have been arrested in connection with the murder.

A police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that the house help admitted to the crime during interrogation. The source clarified that Chuchu was murdered in her room, and her body was subsequently dragged outside and left near the gate. The suspects attempted to clean up the bloodstains, but missed some spots, as the crime was committed at night.

“The deceased was killed in her room and her body was dragged to the front of the gate to make it look like she was killed on the spot. After that, all the blood stains were carefully cleaned but still, they missed some spots. They did not clean it well because it happened at night.”

“The house help did not deny what happened. She said, ‘We do am, na we do am’, during an interrogation and everything she said tallied with the evidence on the ground.” the police source disclosed.

The suspects were also said to have immediately packed all the valuables of the deceased after killing their boss.

The source also confirmed that the three domestic workers were employed at the same time a week before the incident.

Until her death, the late Aribemchukwu was a doctor and had recently married.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said investigations were still ongoing.

He said, “Investigations are still ongoing on the incident. We will provide updates as soon as there are more developments.”
