Three domestic staff are currently being held as prime suspects over the death of Chukwu, the daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia and Soboma Ajumogobia.
The daughter, a medical professional was found dead under suspicious circumstances outside the family’s Parkview, Lagos residence on Wednesday, July 31.
According to sources, Chukwu’s lifeless body was discovered at the gate of their home, with initial appearances suggesting she was outside when the incident occurred.
However, evidence points otherwise as signs of an attempted cleanup of blood inside the house and compound were noticed.
“Her body was discovered this morning outside the gate to their house. 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,” a source disclosed.
Meanwhile, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed that three domestic staff have been arrested and handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.
He said, “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 Offili-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.”
Chukwu’s father, Soboma Ajumogobia, is the younger brother of Odein Ajumogobia, a former Minister of State for Petroleum and later Minister of Foreign Affairs.
