President Bola Tinubu has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Ms. Somtochukwu “Sommie” Maduagwu, a news anchor with Arise News Television, who was killed during a robbery attack at her residence in Katampe, Abuja.
In a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, the President extended condolences to Maduagwu’s family, the management and staff of Arise News, and the wider Nigerian media community.
Describing her as “a promising professional journalist whose life was cut short in a cruel and condemnable manner,” Tinubu directed security agencies to carry out a swift and thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The President also assured Nigerians that his administration remains committed to safeguarding lives and property, while strengthening efforts to combat crime nationwide.
