Fresh update on Arise News Somtochukwu Maduagwu Death, Police React

Police makes fresh clarification on Arise anchor’s Sommie Maduagwu’s passing

The FCT, Abuja Police Commissioner was on Arise News and gave a preliminary report during the interview.

Armed Robbers operated in her building of about 18 apartments/flats. 16 of the flats occupied, while 2 are empty. Sommie lived in one of the flats. The robbery was in the early hours of the morning.

Upon hearing that there were robbers in the building, maybe from gunshots, Sommie jumped from her apartment floor(third floor possibly) in panic and the impact of the jump resulted in her injuries and possible unconsciousness.

By the time the police got to the building, she was unconscious. The Police rushed her to the hospital. The account that they didn’t have fuel in their car is false. It was the Police who took her to the hospital.

At the Maitama General Hospital where she was rushed to, she was declared dead or Brought In Dead after the hospital tried to resuscitate her. The narrative that the Hospital asked for ID, or didn’t do anything to help until it was too late, is not correct.

He also ruled out any motive of assassination. If it was an assassination, the robbers would not have been going from flat to flat robbing the occupants. Besides, they hadn’t reached Sommie’s flat before she jumped.

He promised that the Police will fish out the robbers and are already in deep investigation of the case.
