Minister Umahi Defends Staff Death | Nigeria News

Minister David Umahi is fiercely defending himself against political accusations following the death of his staff member, Mary Habila, who died at a government guest house. He insists there was no foul play, calling critics political opportunists, and revealed she was like a daughter to him — even funding her costly medical treatments, including a recent $2.2 million procedure in Turkey. He shared that Mary had complained of a nosebleed before her death, and her boyfriend ended the call, only to find her unresponsive minutes later. Clarifying her role as a nurse at the Federal University of Health Sciences in Ebonyi, Umahi is pushing for an autopsy, insisting her body not be released until it’s completed — despite cultural objections from the family. He’s also demanding the investigation be moved to Abuja to ensure transparency and is preparing legal action against media outlets he claims spread misinformation and cyberbullied her family.
