One of the domestic workers of Aribemchukwu, the slain daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, has confessed to being involved in the m8rder of the medical doctor. 

LIB reported that the employee of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), fondly called Chuchu, was k!lled during an alleged botched armed robbery operation in her Parkview Estate residence in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State. 

She was st@bbed to d*ath on Tuesday night but her lifeless body was discovered on Wednesday morning outside the gate of her residence.

Her three domestic employees, which included the house help, a security guard, and a driver, were, however, arrested in connection to the m8rder.

The suspects who have since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence (SCIID), Panti, Yaba, were said to have planned to rob the residence right after they were employed. 

The deceased was said to have walked in on the trio as they were robbing the house and they killed her. 

A police source exclusively confirmed the development to punch on Thursday. 

Providing updates on the findings made so far, a police source who craved not to be mentioned as he was not authorised to speak on the matter said the house help confessed to the crime during interrogation.

The source also clarified that the deceased was murdered inside her room, and her body was thereafter dragged from the spot outside the gate where it was dumped.

According to the source, the suspects attempted to clean up the blood stains but missed some spots because the act was perpetrated at night

“The deceased was k!lled in her room and her body was dragged to the front of the gate to make it look like she was k!lled 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 said. 

“The house help did not deny what happened. She said, ‘We do am, na we do am’, during an interrogation and everything she said tallied with the evidence on the ground.” the police source disclosed.

The suspects were also said to have immediately packed all the valuables of the deceased after k!lling their boss.

The source also confirmed that the three domestic workers were employed at the same time a week before the incident.

Until her death, the late Aribemchukwu was a doctor and had recently married.

When contacted, the spokesperson of the State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, said investigations were still ongoing.

“Investigations are still ongoing on the incident. We will provide updates as soon as there are more developments,” he said.
