Gov. Peter Mbah of Enugu State has expressed deep grief over the death of Arise News’ anchor, producer, and reporter, Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu.
Mbah who stated this on Tuesday in a statement by his media office, described her death as a heavy loss to both her medium and the entire Nigerian media industry.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Maduagwu, a lawyer, died following an armed robbery attack at her residence in Katampe District, Abuja, on Monday.
Condemning the incident, the governor
condoled with her immediate family, Arise News and the nation’s media industry as a whole.
He urged security agencies to do everything within their powers to bring the culprits to book.
“I received with shock and a deep sense of loss the news of Somtochukwu’s tragic death. This is highly condemnable. It is reprehensible and cowardly.
“At 29, she had already established herself in the nation’s media space. She was a consummate professional and lit millions of screens with her superb delivery.
“Indeed, a shining light has been extinguished too soon, a budding superstar has been cut down, and I call on the security agencies to do everything within their powers to track down her killers and bring them to book,” he stated. (NAN)
