The medical professional’s lifeless body was found under suspicious circumstances.
According to sources who spoke to our correspondent, newly hired domestic staff, who had been employed by the family for less than a month, are suspected of staging the scene to make it appear as though Chukwu was outside the house when the incident occurred.
Evidence suggests an attempt to clean up blood inside the house and within the compound, indicating a different narrative.
Chukwu’s father, Soboma Ajumogobia, is the younger brother of Odein Ajumogobia, a former Minister of State for Petroleum and later a former Minister of Foreign Affairs.
A source 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.”
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, 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 following a directive from the Commissioner of Police to thoroughly investigate the death. Authorities are currently working to uncover the circumstances surrounding Chukwu’s untimely demise.
This is a developing story, and more information will be provided as the investigation unfolds.
