TRAGIC DEATH: SOMTOCHUKWU CHRISTELLE MADUAGWU

DECEMBER 26, 1995 - SEPTEMBER 29, 2025


It is with heavy hearts that the management and staff of the ARISE News Channel announce the passing of our beloved colleague, News Anchor, Reporter, and Producer, Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu. Sommie tragically passed away in the early hours of Monday, September 29, 2025, following an armed robbery incident in her residence in the Katampe area of Abuja that is being investigated by the Nigeria Police.


Sommie, 29, was not only a cherished member of the ARISE family but also a vibrant voice that engaged and connected with our viewers.

Beyond the airwaves, Sommie was a lawyer who was a professional, supportive colleague and a friend to many.


We extend our deepest condolences to Sommie's parents, siblings, extended family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time. Sommie's voice is now silent, but her spirit, passion, and legacy will endure as part of our collective memory.


We remain in shock and call for a speedy investigation, apprehension, and prosecution of the culprits.
