In a shocking turn of events in Lagos, a domestic worker has admitted to being involved in the brutal murder of Aribemchukwu, the recently married daughter of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia. Aribemchukwu, a medical doctor, was killed in what appears to be a failed robbery at her residence in Parkview Estate, Ikoyi.

The tragedy occurred on a Tuesday night. Aribemchukwu was found dead the next morning, her body abandoned outside the gate of her home. The victim had been stabbed multiple times. According to sources, the attack was part of a planned robbery orchestrated by her three domestic workers, who had been employed just one week prior to the incident.

The workers involved include a house help, a security guard, and a driver. They had apparently intended to rob the house from the moment they were hired. The plan turned deadly when Aribemchukwu walked in on them during the robbery. In a desperate bid to cover their tracks, the suspects attempted to clean up the crime scene. However, their efforts were insufficient, leaving behind noticeable blood stains.

A police source revealed that the house help confessed to the crime during interrogation, using a local expression to acknowledge their involvement: “We do am, na we do am,” which translates to “We did it.” The confession was corroborated by the physical evidence found at the scene. The suspects also stole valuable items from the house after killing their employer.

The suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) in Panti, Yaba, for further investigation. Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and promised that updates will be provided as the case progresses.
