May her soul rest in peace.

Every emerging detail about Somtochukwu’s death is just so scary as it leaves you with pangs of anger. Reports have it that about 15 armed robbers had stormed her residence. The thought of having 15 armed robbers in a building carrying out an operation in Katampe without any form

order living in Nigeria. It’s almost like asking for the heavens.

It’s so sad Sommie had to go this way. We must insist that she doesn’t die in vain. A thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding her death is the smallest thing closest to any form of closure not just

prayed that Nigeria shouldn’t happen to her or any of her loved ones. Yet, what she dreaded the most became her end. Like Sommie, most of us wake up every morning saying the same prayer hoping for the best. This death like many others is highly avoidable but I guess that’s a tall

she was another patriotic Nigerian. But how did her dear country pay her back? How did Nigeria reward her patriotism? The entire system failed her. Nigeria failed her.

Screenshot of a post she made last month on X(formerly tweeter) has been flying around where she had earnestly

@ARISEtv where Sommie, a British citizen said she had moved back to Nigeria simply because she wasn’t fulfilled being outside her home country. She confirmed that she had better paying jobs. Offers way more than she would ever get in Nigeria but she abandoned all of that because

victims. A report from the same police that couldn’t respond to a distress call???

You see how time and time again Nigeria continues to happen to all of us. Nigeria has continued to fail its own citizens. People the same country is supoosed to protect.

I watched an interview on

[Chidiebere Ndukwe @Chidi_OnAir]

a hospital where she was denied emergency treatment all because the hospital was bent on getting a means of identification first. In 2025!!!! In 2025, hospitals in Nigeria still insist on valid means of identification or even police report before attending to gun shot or accident

[Chidiebere Ndukwe @Chidi_OnAir]

(the police) and there was no response. Not sure about the “no fuel claims by the police” but that too is easily believable with the Nigerian police. I’ve done too many reports as a journalist to validate this notion in my years of practice.

Now we hear that Sommie was moved to

of resistance from security agencies???? For starters, Katampe is a high brow area in Abuja. Katampe isn’t one of those remote communities in the FCT. How were these robbers able to move in and out without resistance?

Other details say calls were put across to security agencies

Critics of Arise TV's Rufai Oseni say he isn't a journalist. That shows a deep ignorance of what journalism is. He is. I use Oseni's recent encounter with one Jesutega Onokpasa to make my point: What Critics of Rufai Oseni Don’t Know about Journalism https://t.co/KgNhc5C2vx
