Fresh details have emerged about the tragic death of ARISE Television anchor and producer, Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu, who was killed during an armed robbery attack at her residence in Katampe, Abuja.
Fashion entrepreneur and close friend, Charlie Caker, revealed in an emotional tribute that Maduagwu had been preparing to celebrate two major milestones in her life — her 30th birthday and her wedding, both scheduled to hold in just two months.
“She was full of dreams, love, and plans for the future. It breaks my heart that she won’t get to wear her wedding dress or blow out her birthday candles,” Caker wrote.
Even more shocking are claims that responding police officers could not immediately rush the journalist to the hospital because their patrol vehicle had run out of fuel. Witnesses allege that the delay in getting urgent medical attention worsened her chances of survival.
The Nigeria Police Force has since confirmed an investigation into the murder, vowing to bring the perpetrators to justice. However, the new revelations have fueled public anger, raising questions about systemic failures in emergency response, as well as the state of insecurity in the nation’s capital.
Tributes continue to pour in for Maduagwu, described as a rising star in Nigerian journalism, whose life and career were cut tragically short.
