A domestic worker has confessed to being involved in the murder of Aribemchukwu, the daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, according to an exclusive police source on Thursday. Aribemchukwu, affectionately known as Chuchu, was found dead at her Parkview Estate residence in Ikoyi, Lagos State. Although she was reportedly killed on Tuesday night, her body was discovered outside her gate on Wednesday morning.

Three domestic employees, including the house help, a security guard, and a driver, have been arrested in connection with the murder. A police source, requesting anonymity, revealed that the house help admitted to the crime during interrogation. The source explained that Aribemchukwu was killed in her room, and her body was dragged outside to make it appear as if she was killed there. Despite attempts to clean up the bloodstains, some spots were missed due to the incident occurring at night.

"The deceased was killed in her room and her body was dragged to the front of the gate to make it look like she was killed on the spot. After that, all the blood stains were carefully cleaned but still, they missed some spots. They did not clean it well because it happened at night," the source stated.

During interrogation, the house help reportedly did not deny the crime, saying, "We do am, na we do am," which matched the evidence found. The suspects allegedly packed all the valuables of the deceased after the murder.

The source also confirmed that the three domestic workers were all employed simultaneously, just a week before the incident. Aribemchukwu, who was a doctor, had recently married before her untimely death.

State Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed that investigations are ongoing and promised updates as more developments emerge.
