In a suspicious circumstance, the body of Chukwu, the daughter of Soboma and Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, was discovered lifeless outside the gate of their Parkview, Lagos home on Wednesday, July 31.
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.
According to Sources, newly employed domestic staff, who had been with the family for less than a month, are suspected to have staged the scene to make it appear as though Chukwu was outside the house when the incident occurred.
It was learnt that evidence gathered suggests an attempt to clean up blood inside the house and within the compound, pointing to a different narrative.
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.”
