A close family source has revealed that Somtochukwu “Sommie” Maduagwu ignored her father’s request to remain in the UK before returning to Nigeria, where she died in a robbery incident at her Abuja residence.
According to the source, her father had expressed concern about safety back home and had urged her to delay her return, hoping she could stay longer in the UK for her security. Despite these pleas, she reportedly felt compelled to come home to be closer to her family and resume her career commitments.
The source also said that Somtochukwu was excited about projects and personal milestones she had planned upon return, making the decision to come back deeply personal, despite warnings. Her father and family are said to be coming to terms with the loss, reflecting on what might have been had she accepted the delay.
