Rita Tinina’s house help has finally recounted last moments before she discovered the NTV Journalist’s body in her room on Sunday March 17th.
According to reports, Rita Tinina was supposed to be on duty at NTV where she worked as output producer but failed to report to work, something that raised eyebrows because it was not a usual occurrence.
Speaking to the police, Rita Tinina’s househelp says she was the one that found her body in her room, insinuating that Tinina died in her room last night moments before she discovered her body.

The househelp told police she woke up as usual and went on with her chores but realised Tinina was not waking up as earlier planned.
Tinina was to wake up by 8 am and prepare for work as she was to produce the 1 pm bulletin. But she had not woken up by 9 am which prompted her to knock at her bedroom with no response.
Luckily, Tinina had not locked the door from inside. The house girl called her but there was no response. By then, Tinina’s eight-year-old girl was watching television in the living room.
The house girl said she touched Tinina and realised she was unresponsive. It was then she called one of the family friends who was last with Tinina on Saturday night.
The friend, also a journalist, arrived and confirmed she was unresponsive and picked the daughter to keep her away from the scene then proceeded to call Tinina’s sister and informed her of the sad news.
It was 15 minutes to her work schedule when his colleagues at the office realised there was a miss. Tinina was not responding to her calls. A colleague was sent to the house when the news was broken to them.

The body was however moved to the mortuary pending autopsy to determine what caused the Journalist’s death.
