PUNCH Metro reported in September 2025 that the Federal Capital Territory Police Command confirmed that a security guard and an ARISE News Channel presenter, Somtochukwu Maduagwu, were killed by suspected armed robbers in the Katampe area of Abuja.
The management of ARISE News Channel, while announcing her death, said armed robbers had attacked her residence, leading to her death.
In January, police said that 11 suspects linked to the incident were arraigned before a Federal Capital Territory court for criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, and murder.
