GOVERNOR SOLUDO MOURNS TRAGIC LOSS OF ARISE TV ANCHOR, SOMTOCHUKWU CHRISTELLE MADUAGWU

GOVERNOR SOLUDO MOURNS TRAGIC LOSS OF ARISE TV

The Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has expressed profound sadness and a deep sense of loss over the heartbreaking news of the tragic death of Miss Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu, a distinguished daughter of Anambra State, who was brutally killed during an armed robbery attack at her residence in the Katampe area of Abuja in the early hours of Monday, September 29, 2025.

In his condolence message, Governor Soludo eulogised Miss Maduagwu, fondly called Sommie, as a shining star whose light has been prematurely extinguished.

At just 29 years old, she had already distinguished herself as a lawyer-turned News Anchor, Reporter, and Producer with ARISE News Channel, where her vibrant voice and professional excellence connected with audiences across Nigeria and beyond. A lawyer by training and a journalist by passion, Sommie exemplified the industrious and excellence-driven spirit for which Anambra indigenes are renowned.

The Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, said Governor Soludo lamented that the circumstances of her death, cut down in the prime of her youth and career by criminal elements, is not only a personal tragedy to her family but a loss to Anambra State, the journalism profession, and indeed our entire nation. That such a promising young woman, who worked diligently to inform and educate the public, should meet such a violent and senseless end is deeply disturbing and unacceptable.

Therefore, Governor Soludo, on behalf of the Government, and the entire people of Anambra State, extend his most sincere condolences to Sommie’s parents, siblings, extended family members, friends, colleagues at ARISE News Channel, and all who knew and loved her.

He also called on the Nigeria Police Force to conduct a thorough, swift, and transparent investigation into this heinous crime and ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended and brought to justice expeditiously.

May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace, and may God grant her family and loved ones the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.
