The Management of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) commiserates with Arise Television over the painful loss of its news anchor and producer, Miss Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu.
In a condolence letter signed by the Commission Chief Executive (CCE), Engr Gbenga Komolafe, the NUPRC prayed that God Almighty grants her family and colleagues the strength to bear this tragic loss.
“The death of a loved one is a tragic experience, but even more painful is the
fact that Miss Maduagwu’s life was cut short in her prime.
“I therefore, on behalf of the management of the NUPRC, extend my heartfelt
condolences to the Maduagwu family and the entire Arise Television team. I pray that God Almighty gives them the fortitude to bear this loss as we await the outcome of the police investigation,” the letter read.
Miss Maduagwu was killed in an armed robbery attack at her residence in the
Katampe District of Abuja on Monday, September 29, 2025.
Born on December 26, 1995, she was a lawyer, beauty queen, and journalist.
She was also an advocate of social change, passionately supporting causes
including the increased participation of women in politics.
