The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of three suspects in connection with the alleged murder of Aribemchukwu, the daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia.

On Wednesday, reports emerged that Aribemchukwu was murdered in her Parkview Estate residence in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.

Earlier reports said she was killed in the late hours of Tuesday and her body was discovered this morning outside the gate of her residence.

Some accounts who spoke with the press said: “It would appear that new household staff might have been responsible and tried to stage as if she was outside when it happened.

“There are signs of an attempt to clean up blood inside the house and in the compound. This was indeed the handiwork, and we observe that they were newly employed less than a month, and she was alone in the house with them.

“We all need to be super careful. Especially with new hires.”

Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police Command’s Spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the body of Aribemchukwu has been recovered.

He also confirmed that three suspects have been arrested in connection to her death.

Hundeyin stressed that the three people arrested in connection with the murder of Aribemchukwu were her domestic staff.

He said: “Our men have arrested three people in connection to the murder of the daughter of Justice Ajumogobia at her residence in Parkview Estate. One of them is a driver, and the other two are maids.

“We are investigating and will further inform the public of our outcome.”

The New Diplomat reports that Aribemchukwu’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.
