ARISE TV Anchor Somtochukwu Maduagwu Killed in Abuja Robbery — Calls for Justice and Accountability

Somtochukwu Maduagwu: How Primate Ayodele Warned Against Death Of Journalists In April (VIDEO)

If there is any prophet that reveals God’s mind towards media houses and journalists, it would Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church.

Through his prophecies, Primate Ayodele has warned several media houses and journalists about what they should pray about, even though he is also consistently praying for them.

His prophecies regarding media houses are borne out of his love for the profession and especially because of the country we are in, where journalists are not well appreciated. This is the reason he has also taken it upon himself to always celebrate journalists and media houses.

Annually, Primate Ayodele gives out nothing less than six cars to journalists and supports nothing less than 25 journalists with empowerments in six figures, both openly and privately.

In one of his several prophecies to media houses and journalists captured in a video, Primate Ayodele warned against the death of a popular newscaster in Nigeria. He urged media entrepreneurs and journalists to pray against the unfortunate incident that he foresees.

He specifically mentioned TV journalists as the recipients of his prophecy while asking them to pray for God’s protection.

In his words:

“TV presenters, news casters, TV broadcasters, pray for your lives, for God’s protection and pray for your family. God bless”

Sadly, it seems this prophetic warning has come to pass with the sad death of Arise TV’s news presenter, Somtochukwu Maduagwu.

In a statement obtained from Arise TV’s X handle on Monday, the 29-year-old broadcaster, affectionately known as Sommie, was a respected news anchor, reporter, and producer who had become a familiar and trusted face to viewers across the country.

The statement read, “It is with heavy hearts that the management and staff of the ARISE News Channel announce the passing of our beloved colleague, News Anchor, Reporter, and Producer, Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu. Sommie tragically passed away in the early hours of Monday, September 29, 2025, following an armed robbery incident in her residence in the Katampe area of Abuja that is being investigated by the Nigeria Police.

“Sommie, 29, was not only a cherished member of the ARISE News family but also a vibrant voice that engaged and connected with our viewers.

“Beyond the airwaves, Sommie was a lawyer who was a professional and supportive colleague and a friend to many.”

UK-Based Nollywood Actor Tomiwa Alajogun Celebrates Wife’s Birthday with Heartfelt Tribute

UK-based Nollywood actor, Tomiwa Alajogun, has melted hearts with an emotional tribute to his wife, Olori Adijat Abake Alajogun, as she marks her birthday today.

The actor, who admitted being “short of words,” poured out his feelings in a touching message that captured the depth of love and respect he holds for his wife.

“For the first time in a long time, I’m legitimately short of words. I don’t know what to say on your birthday. You’ve shown me so much love, respect, and care. You’ve given me listening ears when I needed it and scolded me when I needed it. You’ve shown me I don’t have to be alone on my journey or in my thoughts when my brain is wilding,” he expressed.

Alajogun further explained that he had wanted to gift his wife something memorable, but realized that nothing could compare to the constant words of love, affirmation, and affection she had always desired from him. This inspired a creative project dedicated entirely to her, though he noted delays caused by “late decisions, creative differences, and perfection battles.”

The heartfelt message also highlighted her cultural roots as an Ibadan woman, referencing the Odu Ifa of Ose Meji that birthed Ibadan, the iconic brown roofs of the city, and its trademark Micra cars.

“I was hoping to get this out today on your birthday, but I believe when it’s finally out, you’ll understand just a little of how much I love, cherish, and appreciate you. This is all for you, ÀBÁKÉ ÒKÍN Mi, Omo Oba Meta, Aya Ifa, Ele Major, Olori Alajogun, My beautiful Ibadan Wife,” he added.

Alajogun also acknowledged and appreciated the team of creatives who contributed to the special project, including inspiration from how wife.

The emotional post ended with a shower of love, prayers, and birthday wishes for his wife, whom he fondly called his “gist partner” and “the most important woman” in his life.
