In the panic that followed, Maduagwu, who lived on the top floor, jumped from the building.
“Policemen moved to the scene and found her lying unconscious. She was immediately taken to Maitama General Hospital, where doctors tried to resuscitate her using CPR, but she could not make it,” Adewale said.
He added that one of the two security guards on duty sustained a gunshot wound after attempting to resist the attackers.
The commissioner stated that a special investigation team, led by the deputy commissioner of police (Investigation), had been set up to track down the suspects.
“FCT Command once again commiserates with the family of Sommie, the Arise News family, and Nigerians deeply touched by this incident. The leads we are getting are already being worked on, and no stone will be left unturned until the perpetrators are brought to justice,” he added.
Maduagwu, who was an anchor, reporter, producer and also a lawyer, died on Monday at the age of 29.
In a statement signed by Hadiza Usman-Ajayi, Arise News described her as a valued colleague and extended condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.
“We extend our deepest condolences to Sommie’s parents, siblings, extended family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time. Sommie’s voice is now silent but her spirit, passion and legacy will endure as part of our collective memory. We remain in shock and call for a speedy investigation, apprehension and prosecution of the culprits,” the statement read.
