One of the domestic workers of Aribemchukwu, the slain daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, has confessed to being involved in her murder, according to a police source. The deceased, known as Chuchu, was found dead outside her Parkview Estate residence in Ikoyi, Lagos State.
Although her family stated she was killed on Tuesday night, her body was discovered on Wednesday morning. Three domestic employees, including the house help, security guard, and driver, were arrested in connection to the murder.
A police source revealed that the house help admitted to the crime during interrogation, stating that the murder occurred inside Chuchu’s room. The body was then dragged outside the gate to make it appear she was killed there. The suspects attempted to clean the blood stains but missed some spots due to the nighttime conditions.
The source also mentioned that the suspects packed all the deceased’s valuables after the murder. The three domestic workers were hired simultaneously a week before the incident. Aribemchukwu was a doctor and had recently married.
State Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed that investigations are ongoing and promised to provide updates as new information becomes available.
