By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

The FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike, has commiserated with the management and staff of the Arise News Channel over the death of one of its news anchors, Somtochukwu Maduagwu, describing her death as tragic and painful.

In a statement on Tuesday, issued by the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, to the FCT Minister, said he prayed for the repose of the soul of Somtochukwu, assured that the police will unravel the circumstances of her death, and bring those responsible to justice.

He said the death of Somtochukwu was not only a loss to the Arise News family but to the Nigerian media and the entire nation as a whole.

I feel pained that such a wonderful soul could be cut down in its prime. It is sad!

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Mandate Secretary on Health, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, disclosed that Somtochukwu was brought to the Maitama General Hospital dead at about 4:30am on Monday.

“A preliminary medical report will be made available to the police to aid their investigation, while all efforts will be made to unravel the circumstances of her death.”

“Therefore, at this period, we will continue to pray for the continued support of the Almighty God for the staff and management of Arise News, especially the chairman, Prince Nduka Obaigbena, and the family and friends left behind by the deceased.”

“It is my prayer that God in His infinite mercies will accept her soul and give her family members, friends, and associates the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
