Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu, news anchor and producer with Arise Television, was laid to rest on Saturday in Agulu, Anaocha LGA of Anambra state.
Sommie, as she was fondly called, was killed late September in an armed robbery incident at her residence in the Katampe district of Abuja.
Her funeral was attended by Peter Obi, 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), some chieftains of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and other dignitaries.
The burial mass took place at St Theresa Catholic Church, Agulu, where Peter Ezewuzie, a priest, delivered the homily.
He consoled the bereaved family, urging them to find comfort in the quality of life Sommie lived.
“The Lord who created us knows the beginning from the end. He is all-knowing. Some of you may be unhappy that a life has been cut short, but you won’t know if that is how God planned it,” he said.
