Tinubu orders security agencies to apprehend killers of Arise News anchor

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed security and law enforcement agencies to fish out those responsible for the killing of Ms. Somtochukwu “Sommie” Maduagwu, a promising news anchor with Arise News Television, who was murdered during a robbery attack at her Katampe residence in Abuja.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the President condemned the crime, describing it as “cruel and condemnable.”

He tasked investigators to conduct a swift and thorough probe to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice without delay.

While commiserating with the Maduagwu family, the management and staff of Arise News, and the wider media community, President Tinubu expressed deep sorrow at the loss of the young journalist, whom he described as “a promising professional whose life was cut short in a cruel and condemnable manner.”
