Ebonyi State Police Command has ordered a full autopsy on the body of Miss Mary Habila, a 26-year-old nurse whose death at the country home of Minister of Works, David Umahi, has raised serious questions among Nigerians.
-The circumstances surrounding the death of a young nurse found lifeless at the Uburu country home of former Ebonyi State Governor and current Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, have taken a new turn as security operatives move to uncover the truth behind the tragic incident.
Miss Mary Habila, aged just 26, was reportedly found dead at the prominent politician’s country home in Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State — a development that has since sent shockwaves across the state and sparked widespread conversations on social media.
Police Move to Get Answers
Determined not to allow the matter to be swept under the carpet, the Ebonyi State Police Command has demanded that a proper autopsy be conducted on Miss Habila’s remains. This is a critical step that could help establish the actual cause of death and determine whether foul play was involved.
For many Nigerians — particularly those who have watched similar high-profile cases fade into silence — this move by the police is being closely monitored. The demand for an autopsy signals that authorities are taking the matter seriously, at least for now.
Who Was Mary Habila?
Mary Habila was a young nursing professional, just 26 years old — a woman in the prime of her life with her whole future ahead of her. Like thousands of hardworking Nigerian healthcare workers, she was simply trying to make a living and serve her community.
Her death under such circumstances has left her family devastated and her colleagues in the medical community deeply unsettled.
Why This Case Matters
In Nigeria, cases involving the deaths of ordinary citizens connected — even loosely — to powerful political figures often raise uncomfortable questions about accountability and justice. Many families have experienced the pain of watching such cases disappear without resolution.
This is why the voices calling for transparency in this investigation are growing louder. Nigerians across social media platforms are demanding that:
– A thorough and independent autopsy be conducted without interference
– The results be made public in a timely manner
– All parties involved cooperate fully with investigators
– Justice be served for Mary Habila and her grieving family
The Umahi Connection
David Umahi, a former two-term Governor of Ebonyi State, currently serves as Nigeria’s Minister of Works under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. The fact that the incident occurred at his personal compound in Uburu has naturally drawn significant public attention to the case.
As of the time of reporting, further details regarding the full circumstances of Miss Habila’s presence at the compound and the events leading to her death remain under active investigation.
