Umahi Speaks on Alleged Death of Nurse in his Ebonyi Home
David Umahi, Minister of works, has reacted to the reports on the alleged death of Mary Habila, a nurse, at his home in Ebonyi state.
Umahi spoke on Sunday while inspecting work along the Ebonyi section of the Calabar–Ebonyi–Benue–Nasarawa–Abuja superhighway.
According to NAN, the minister said it was the deceased’s family who forced open her room after becoming concerned and rushed her to the hospital.
He noted that the incident was promptly reported to the police.
Umahi added that he had directed that an autopsy be conducted, adding it would be carried with the consent of the deceased’s parents.
The minister dismissed claims that the death of the nurse was shrouded in secrecy.
“The family broke the girl’s door, called doctors from DUFUTH, who took her to hospital and did everything to revive her, but failed,” Umahi said.
