Netizens enraged with the death of Arise News TV presenter, Somtochukwu Maduagwu, fondly called Sommie, have taken to 𝕏 to share their worry over the insecurity situation in the Federal Capital Territory.

Naijaonpoint reports that the 29-year-old news anchor died in the early hours of Monday during an armed robbery attack at her residence in Katampe, Abuja.

According to an account published by Sahara Reporters, one Kaanayo Nwachukwu, who said he knew Sommie’s mother, said the criminals moved from flat to flat, dispossessing residents of their belongings, while frantic calls to the police went unanswered.

Terrified by the commotion, Sommie tried to escape before the robbers reached her unit. She jumped from her window, sustaining severe injuries.

When the police eventually arrived minutes later, she was still alive. But according to Nwachukwu, eyewitnesses said the officers refused to take her to the hospital, claiming their patrol vehicle had no fuel.

Sommie managed to reach out to her mother’s close friend in Abuja for help, but by the time the woman arrived, she had died

The hashtag #WikeSecureAbujaNow is currently trending on 𝕏, with netizens showing their displeasure over the death of the news anchor.
