Murder of Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia’s daughter: Three domestic staff arrested in Lagos
According to sources who spoke with Vanguard, the family’s recently hired domestic help—who had only been there for over a month—may have fabricated the incident to make it seem as though Aribemchukwu was outside the house when it happened. Evidence points to a different story by indicating that there was an attempt to clean up blood within the home and on the property.
The daughter of Soboma and Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, Aribemchukwu, was discovered dead in an unsettling manner.
On Wednesday, July 31, the doctor was found dead outside the gate of their Parkview, Lagos, residence.

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.
A source revealed, “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.”
Meanwhile, when contacted, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed that three domestic staff have been arrested 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. Aribemchukwu, 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.” Hundeyin disclosed.
He added that the arrest of the three suspects was initiated in line with a directive from theLagos State Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade to thoroughly investigate the death.
This is a developing story, and more details will be provided as they become available.
