President Bola Tinubu has mourned the death of Ms Somtochukwu Maduagwu, a news anchor with Arise News Television, who was killed during a robbery attack at her residence in Katampe, Abuja.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President described Maduagwu’s death as a painful loss to her family, the Nigerian media, and the nation at large.
“Ms Maduagwu was a promising professional journalist whose life was cut short in a cruel and condemnable manner,” he said.
The President directed security and law enforcement agencies to carry out a thorough investigation into the incident, apprehend the perpetrators, and ensure they face justice without delay.
