Somtochukwu Maduagwu who lived in the 3rd floor after sighting the robbers was gripped in fear and had attempted to escape over possible fear of being molested.

The eyewitness who lives in a house very close to the robbery scene said in the rising tension and chaotic environment, the now late TV anchor and ex beauty queen attempted to jump from third floor for her dear life while the robbers told her not to.

She however dived, landing on the floor with her head, which caused her a fatal injury
.

The eyewitness who is the Project Director of Most Beautiful Girl In Abuja Pageant (MBGA) and AMAC councilorship candidate was reported to have immediately invited the police when he sighted the situation.

The police were said to have arrived the scene about ten minutes later and met Somtochukwu Maduagwu battling for her life after the robbers had left.

She was immediately rushed to the hospital in the police vehicle before she finally died.

"What the public should know is that the lady was not shot, contrary to narrative that it was a planned assassination. She jumped all the way from third floor and hit her head on the floor", the eyewitness said.

Though the security man at the residence was killed of gun shot wounds in the process of gaining access into the compound.

Intentional or non-intentional, the act of taking one's own life is termed "suicide".
Go and re-educate yourself, suicide can only be intentional.

By your own definition, anytime a death occurs by the fault of one's actions, that would be suicide; which clearly makes no sense as women who die through childbirth, drivers who die through over speeding and people who cross highways would all be classified as committing suicide.

Very lame write up. What does it change ?

Nothing

She died running for her life. The people who killed gateman could have actually killed her

All in a bid to protect her modesty. Naija women won’t kill me. Sha, she was right. She was really pretty. The robbers would’ve done everything she had in mind. R.I.P.

She jumped. The stigma that raped women face in our society is worse than death. She chose the easy option.

Alex Reports... This is commendable.

This is what journalism should be, not you trying to launder image of people nobody cares about.

May her soul rest in peace. It's easy to say she should have done this or that but fact remains only those that find themselves in that type of situation know how they will react to it. In hindsight, everything always looks well thought out.

How come it is still been circulated that she was shot? She was such a vibrant young lady and it is so unfortunate that she had to end up that way. Sometimes I ask myself who are the people behind the heinous crimes in our society, and one answer comes to mind" they are people we know, and who are close to us.

If you know you have a sibling, son, daughter or relative who is a criminal, and you choose to stay quiet, then you are also an accomplice in whatever crime they commit. Enough of the blood shedding and the atrocities! This is why nowadays, I am no longet thrilled when people celebrate the birth of a new born babies because I feel they are shooting up the number of criminals in our society.

As if she chose to end her life. She (justifiably) panicked and tried to escape the only way she knew. The same thing happened at the Afriland building that was engulfed in flames had people not been there with mattress to cushion their fall. One still ended up breaking his legs.

She should have just faced her fears instead of running. She could have used a knife to fend off the armed thieves.
I'd rather die fighting than die running

What of intention
Like the case of the girl that used gamalin to fight hair lice not knowing that gamalin can be absorbed through the skin. She died few hours later.
Is that still suicide ??
Intentional matters even in law
So rest

In Nigeria government value life of bandits and terrorists, kidnappers more than life of Nigerians. Evans kidnapped and killed dozens, he is being treated like a dignitary in jail, bandits killed, raped women, killed security operatives, and were treated like heroes by northern leaders. The universe will deal harshly with the evil politicians using innocent lives of Nigerians as tools due to their evil aims.
