Arise News correspondent Somtochukwu “Sommie” Maduagwu died on Monday, September 29, 2025, after falling from her Katampe apartment during an armed robbery. The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command confirmed the incident.

Earlier reports had linked her death to suspected hospital negligence at Maitama General Hospital. However, Police Commissioner Ajao Adewale clarified that officers found Maduagwu unconscious at the scene and rushed her to the hospital.

Adewale explained, “Police officers moved to the scene and found her lying unconscious. She was immediately taken to Maitama General Hospital, where doctors tried to resuscitate her using CPR, but sadly, she could not make it.”

The robbers stormed Unique Apartments, a three-story building with eighteen units located near Katampe’s Gishiri axis. According to police, two security guards were on duty. The attackers shot one person during the confrontation.

“In the panic that followed, Sommie, who lived on the top floor, jumped from the third storey. The consequences were tragic and very unfortunate,” Adewale said.

He added, “FCT Command once again commiserates with the family of Sommie, the Arise News family, and Nigerians deeply touched by this ugly and disturbing incident.”

Adewale assured Nigerians that investigators will bring the perpetrators to justice. “We have set up a specific investigation team headed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Investigation, with all tactical units involved to track down the culprits. The leads we are getting are already being worked on, and no stone will be left unturned until the perpetrators are brought to justice.”

Emergin News previously reported that armed robbers attacked Maduagwu at her Abuja home late Monday night, and she later died.

Arise News later confirmed Maduagwu’s passing, mourning her loss and expressing sadness at the tragic event.
