More facts have emerged surrounding the tragic death of former beauty queen and staff of Arise News TV, Sommie Maduagwu, who d!ed during an armed robbery attack in her 16-apartment building in the Katampe area of Abuja, on Monday, September 29 at about 3am.

According to Arise TV presenter Ojy Okpe, she gathered from their Abuja correspondence that late Sommie jumped down from her apartment after she got information that 15 armed robbers had invaded their building.

The armed robbers were said to have moved from one apartment to another, dispossessing residents of their belongings. The police were reportedly alerted but failed to show up on time.

Said to have been terrified by the commotion from adjoining flats, late Sommie attempted to escape before the robbers reached her apartment. She jumped out of her window, sustaining severe injuries from the fall.

Sommie was then rushed to the Maitama District hospital but was initially left unattended to as the hospital staff demanded for a form of identification before they could commence treatment. She sadly lost her life while still at the hospital. The apartment security who put up a resistance with the robbers was also shot and he died from the injury. He left behind a wife and a little son.

Left to mourn Sommie are her parents, siblings, friends, colleagues and others.
