The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three domestic workers connected to Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia following the unsettling discovery of her daughter Aribemchukwu’s lifeless body outside their home in Park View Estate, Ikoyi. This tragic event took place on Wednesday morning, with initial reports indicating that the incident occurred the previous night.
The Police Public Relations Officer confirmed the arrests while providing updates on this developing case. A family insider disclosed that the body was found in the early hours of Wednesday, raising suspicions of foul play allegedly involving the newly hired domestic staff.
Concerns are mounting over potential homicide, as the source indicated possible signs of an attempted cover-up, including evidence of blood cleanup within the residence. The family member expressed caution regarding the employment of new staff, underscoring the importance of vigilance in hiring practices.
The Police Public Relations Officer confirmed that the investigation is underway and has been referred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
In a related context, it’s worth noting that Justice Ajumogobia previously faced serious legal troubles, including prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on multiple counts of money laundering. She was detained in 2016 concerning allegations involving significant funds, but a court ruling in 2021 dismissed the charges, eventually leading to her reinstatement as a judge in 2022.
As this story unfolds, ECNETNews will continue to provide updates on the investigation and its implications for those involved.
