Tinubu asks security agencies to bring perpetrators of Arise TV anchor’s death to justice

President Bola Tinubu has mourned Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu, a news anchor and producer with Arise Television.

Maduagwu died on Sunday in an armed robbery incident at her residence in the Katampe district of Abuja.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, his special adviser on information and strategy, Tinubu said he received the news of Maduagwu’s passing with “deep sorrow”.

“Ms Maduagwu was a promising professional journalist whose life was cut short in a cruel and condemnable manner,” Tinubu said.

“Security and law enforcement agencies should conduct a quick and thorough investigation into the incident and ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended and brought to justice without delay.”

While commiserating with the bereaved family, Tinubu assured Nigerians that his administration remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens and will continue to strengthen measures aimed at combating crime in all its forms.
