Umahi Dismisses 'Foul Play', Warns Against Politicisation Of Nurse's Death
- On Thursday, Minister of Works David Umahi broke his silence regarding the death of staff member Mary Habila at his Uburu, Ebonyi State residence, revealing she spoke to her boyfriend while bleeding shortly before she died.
- The 26-year-old medical team member died June 27 in a room at the minister's home; following public outcry, Umahi requested a police post-mortem to determine the cause of death, which the family initially rejected.
- According to Umahi, Habila told her boyfriend she was bleeding from her nose, pleading, "Don't cut the call," as the boyfriend urged her to report it, stating, "Listen, I will not continue this conversation since you are bleeding."
- In a July 13 affidavit, Tanko Habila, father of Mary Habila, formally rejected further investigation at the Ebonyi State High Court, requesting the Nigeria Police Force release his daughter's body for burial.
- Police spokesperson Joshua Ukandu stated Wednesday the command awaits the family before proceeding with examination, assuring the investigation would remain "thorough, transparent, and impartial" as the case progresses.
