Maduagwu, fondly called “Sommie” by colleagues, was killed in the early hours of Monday during an armed robbery at her residence in the Katampe area of Abuja.
The 29-year-old journalist, known for her vibrant personality and warm on-screen presence, was a cherished figure in Nigerian television. ARISE News described her as “a cherished member of the ARISE News family” whose voice “engaged and connected with our viewers.”
The Nigeria Police have launched an investigation into the incident, while ARISE News has called for a “speedy investigation, apprehension, and prosecution of the culprits.”
“Sommie’s voice is now silent, but her spirit, passion, and legacy will endure as part of our collective memory,” the statement read. The management and staff of ARISE News extended their deepest condolences to her parents, siblings, extended family, friends, and loved ones.
Born on December 26, 1995, Maduagwu was also a trained lawyer, leaving behind a legacy of excellence in both law and journalism.
