Atiku Urges Tinubu to Suspend Umahi Over Mary Habila’s Death ProbeFormer Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on President Bola Tinubu to direct the Minister of Works, David Umahi, to step aside while investigations continue into the death of 26-year-old nurse, Mary Habila.Habila, who worked at the David Umahi Federal University of Medical Sciences, was found dead on June 27 in accommodation linked to the minister in Ebonyi State.In a statement posted on his X handle, Atiku expressed condolences to Habila’s family and criticized what he described as the Federal Government’s lack of transparency in handling the case.“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,” Atiku said.He stressed that only an independent and credible investigation could establish the facts, adding that accountability must apply equally to all public officials.Atiku urged Tinubu to ask Umahi to temporarily vacate office, describing the move as “the minimum standard of public accountability in any serious democracy.” He also called on the Inspector-General of Police to transfer the case to Force Headquarters, involve independent forensic experts, and conduct an internationally credible autopsy with findings made public.Meanwhile, Umahi’s legal team has welcomed a forensic autopsy, insisting that Habila was staying in staff accommodation rather than his personal residence. The family, however, has asked an Ebonyi State court to halt the police investigation and refused an autopsy, stating they do not suspect foul play.Police investigations remain ongoing, with no official findings yet released.
