Mystery Deepens Over Death of Minister Umahi’s Aide

The mystery surrounding the death of Mary Habila, a nurse attached to the office of the Minister of Works, David Umahi, has deepened following fresh legal advice.

The Ebonyi State Ministry of Justice says a post-mortem examination is necessary to establish the cause of her death, noting there is no evidence she had any prior health condition.

Police have also begun inviting individuals considered relevant to the investigation as efforts continue to determine the circumstances surrounding her sudden death.

Meanwhile, Habila's family is demanding the immediate release of her remains for burial and continues to oppose an autopsy on cultural and personal grounds.

Authorities say investigations are ongoing as they seek answers to the unresolved case.
