Tragedy has struck at the home of Sonoma and Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia following the reported death of their daughter, Chukwu, a medical practitioner.
According to report, her lifeless body was discovered outside the gate of their Parkview, Lagos home on Wednesday, the 31st day of July, 2024.
Due to the suspicious circumstances surrounding her lifeless body, three of the domestic staff have been arrested by the Lagos State Police command.
According to a source close to the scene of event and family of the deceased, the newly hired domestic staff, employed by the family for less than a month, are suspected of staging the death to make it appear as though Chukwu was died outside the house when the incident occurred.
The deceased father, Soboma Ajumogobia, is the younger brother of a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Odein Ajumogobia, who later became a former Minister of Foreign Affairs.
A source who spoke to Thenigerialawyer, 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.”
Reacting to the incident, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed 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 (SCID), which has since taken over the investigation. Chukwu, 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 stated.
The arrests were made as further gathered following a directive from the Commissioner of Police to thoroughly investigate the death with a view to uncover the circumstances surrounding Chukwu’s untimely demise.
