@ChidiOdinkalu I expect the police to her issued a statement that the residence has been locked down with all occupants evicted while the investigation goes on.
@PoliceNG you need to do better. You must make the lives of people count 😢
That’s her statement 😢. Now let the police do their job and the courts must stop issuing useless affidavits in a murder case.
She was found close to the door means she was trying to exit. How can you tell if the door was locked from inside or outside. Let the police do their job.
When she was found, was there a trauma to her head or no. If yes, was it from a fall or from another person.
Does she have any history of dyspnea since you’re very close to her. Just let the police do their job and stop this affidavit thing.
Was it heart attack, if yes, why was she found close to the door. Let the police do their job and the useless court should stop this affidavit thing.
@atiku Umahi should resign or go on leave immediately pending the outcome of the investigation. The case must be made public with names of all investigating officers involved.
I have followed with deep sorrow and mounting concern the reports surrounding the death of Miss Mary Habila, a 26-year-old Nigerian from Nok, Southern Kaduna, who died on June 27, 2026, within the private residence of the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, in Uburu, Ebonyi State.
First, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Habila family. No family should have to mourn a daughter taken in the prime of her life while also fighting simply to learn the truth of how she died.
But condolences are not enough. Nigerians deserve answers, and it is on this score that the Tinubu administration has failed, comprehensively and disgracefully.
Consider the facts that are not in dispute. A young woman died in the residence of a serving Federal Minister. For nearly two weeks, neither the Minister, nor the police, nor any arm of government said a word to the Nigerian people. It took the courage of Sahara Reporters to bring this death into public view. Three weeks after her death, no autopsy has been performed. No cause of death has been established. The investigation remains domiciled in the very state where the Minister served two terms as Governor and where his influence is beyond question.
And through all of this, silence from the Presidency. Silence from the Federal Executive Council. Silence from the Inspector-General of Police. Silence from the National Assembly. Not one word. Not one directive. Not one gesture to assure Nigerians that the life of Mary Habila matters to this government.
Instead, the Minister has been permitted to manage the narrative of a death that occurred under his own roof: issuing statements through his personal aides, deploying his private lawyers to correspond with the police, and continuing his official duties as though nothing has happened, while civil society groups, youth organisations, and the family’s own community cry out for an independent inquiry.
Let me be clear: I make no pronouncement on anyone’s guilt or innocence. That is precisely the point. Only a credible, independent, and transparent investigation can establish the truth, and it is the refusal of the Federal Government to guarantee such an investigation that constitutes the scandal before us.
A government’s first duty is the protection of life. Where a life is lost in circumstances touching a high official of state, the burden on government to act transparently is at its heaviest.
President Tinubu’s administration has instead treated this tragedy as an inconvenience to be waited out. If the death of a young Nigerian woman in a Minister’s residence cannot stir this government to act, then Nigerians must ask: whose life, exactly, does this government value?
I therefore demand the following: One, President Bola Tinubu must direct the Honourable Minister of Works to step aside immediately, pending the conclusion of investigations. This is not a punishment; it is the minimum standard of public accountability in any serious democracy. No official under this cloud should preside over a federal ministry as though it were business as usual.
Two, the Inspector-General of Police must immediately transfer the investigation from the Ebonyi State Command to Force Headquarters, with the involvement of independent forensic experts. No investigation conducted in the shadow of the Minister’s home-state influence can command public confidence.
Three, a full, independent, and internationally credible autopsy must be conducted without further delay, with the findings made public. The stalemate over the post-mortem, three weeks after this young woman’s death is an indictment of every institution involved.
Four, the family of Mary Habila must be protected from any pressure, inducement, or intimidation, and must be guaranteed unfettered access to the facts of their daughter’s death.
Mary Habila and Mary Baski visited the home of David Umahi, Minister of Works (@FMWNIG). On the morning of June 26, 2026, Mary Habila was found dead in her room. The other lady, Mary Baski, has since disappeared, and no one knows where she is. @PoliceNG have not yet questioned the minister.
Nigeria is a crime scene.
@General_Oluchi The court case should be FGN v Umahi and whoever was in that building. The family is not meant to institute the case. Murder cases are criminal cases and the state is the prosecutor.
The family cannot make that decision🗣️.
The decision to investigate rests on the state.
Even if her death was an accident, there must be an investigation to determine cause and protect the public.
You don’t just bury people that die mysteriously🗣️
If the government fails to investigate, it will fuel the assumption that Umahi is responsible. Umahi must not allow this go without an investigation. He must give himself up for investigation and protect his image.
This is too serious an issue to sweep under the rug. I’d like to know the position of the @PoliceNG on this matter.
@Savy_vinci It’s normal everywhere in the world. A pack of 24 pcs of spring water is $3 while one bottle of the same water in a vending machine is $2.50
Is kidnapping a tribal issue. The governor can call on anyone for help. Nigeria called for and still calling for help in the fight against insurgency.
You can’t beat a child and still complain the cry is too loud.
Makinde didn’t even need to make it public. Just hire private investigators for some dollars and make their findings public.
We’re talking about kidnapping here bro and if you have a family member who’s a victim, your cry will sure go beyond the family.
The parent’s have no rights to decide whether an autopsy be done or not. It’s a murder case and the state has every right to investigate and prosecute. The culprit must not be allowed to roam free in the society.
I don’t care about the parent’s wish to waive investigation, the state must not accept that.
There MUST be a coroner's inquest into the death of Mary Habila at the residence of Tinubu's Minister of Works, David Umahi
Given the mysterious manner of her death and unanswered questions about the circumstances of her presence at the Minister's home, it is in the interest of justice that all appropriate investigative and forensic procedures, including, where required by law, an autopsy and any other relevant inquiries, be completed before Mary Habila is buried.
Any attempt at hurried burial by her family must be resisted. Ms. Mary Habila died with blood flowing from her mouth, which suggests that her death is unnatural.
There have been several allegations of mysterious deaths surrounding Umahi, including those of 5 NELAN Engineers that remain unsolved to date.
BIGGEsT COVER UP EVER!
The arrest and reported dehumanization of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, the alleged Director-General of a “fake agency,” points to what appears to be an official cover-up rather than a genuine search for truth.
By now, President Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, @femigbaja should also be under arrest and investigation if the authorities are truly committed to uncovering the facts.
So far, the individual alleged to have collected the ₦400million bribe on @femigbaja behalf has reportedly died under mysterious circumstances, while the hotel allegedly used for the exchange has since been demolished.
In addition to the real crimes, we are now witnessing obstruction of justice by the @officialABAT criminal regime.
