Lagos Murder Mystery: Judge's Daughter Found Slain

Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia

Judge's daughter murdered in Lagos home, police investigate...

Tragedy strikes prominent Nigerian family as Aribemchukwu, daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, is found murdered in Lagos home, with new domestic staff suspected of involvement.

Tragedy has struck the family of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, as their daughter, Aribemchukwu (fondly known as Chichu), has been found dead. The young medical doctor's life was cut short in a brutal manner, with her body discovered outside the gate of their Parkview Lagos home on Wednesday, July 31.

The circumstances surrounding Chichu's death are alarming, with sources suggesting that their recently employed domestic staff may be responsible for the heinous crime. It appears that the new staff, who had been working for the family for less than a month, attempted to stage the scene to make it seem like the murder occurred outside the family's home.

This devastating loss comes just a few months after the family celebrated a joyful occasion - the wedding of Chichu's brother. The contrast between the two events is stark, leaving the family and loved ones in shock and grief.

Further investigation into the tragic death of Aribemchukwu (Chichu) has revealed a disturbing twist. Signs of an attempted cleanup of bloodstains have been found inside the house and within the compound, contradicting the initial impression that the murder occurred outside. This new evidence suggests a more sinister scenario.

Chichu was reportedly alone in the house with the new domestic staff at the time of her murder, raising suspicions about their involvement. The family's trust in their recently hired help has been shattered by this devastating event.

Chichu's family is prominent in Nigerian society. Her father, Soboma, is the CEO of GEN Merchants Investors Ltd and the younger brother of Odein Ajumogobia, a former Minister of State for Petroleum and later Minister of Foreign Affairs. The family's high profile adds to the shock and outrage surrounding Chichu's brutal murder.
