The Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) issues a seven-day ultimatum to Minister of Works Dave Umahi following the death of 26-year-old physiotherapist Mary Habila. The groups’ statement, signed by NYCN National President Isah Abubakar, demands that Umahi step aside and urges President Bola Tinubu to suspend him to allow for an independent investigation into Habila’s death. NYCN also calls on the Nigeria Police Force to invite Umahi for questioning and says a transparent criminal probe is needed. The council alleges that Habila died at Umahi’s private residence in Uburu, Ebonyi State, and says public concern is linked to the circumstances of the death. NYCN further demands an independent autopsy, arguing it should be conducted transparently and free from influence. The council warns that if its demands are not met within seven days, it will mobilize nationwide protests and stage sustained demonstrations in Abuja, Kaduna, and Ebonyi State. Multiple outlets report NYCN’s threat of protests as well as its call for an internationally witnessed autopsy and credible investigation.
