EXCLUSIVE: Mary Habila Found Dead At Minister Umahi's Residence Was Community Health Worker, Not Physiotherapist, University Sources Back NSP’s Position
Sources allege that Mary Habila, who died at the residence of Nigerian Minister David Umahi, was a Community Health Extension Worker rather than a physiotherapist. The reports suggest she was placed on a university payroll through the minister's influence despite lacking the required qualifications.
Why it matters
The incident raises serious questions about political influence, potential corruption in public institutions, and accountability regarding a suspicious death involving a high-ranking government official.
The sources alleged that Habila did not possess the qualifications required to be employed by the university as a physiotherapist.
Mary Habila, the young woman found dead at the residence of Nigeria's Minister of Works and former Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, was a Community Health Extension Worker (CHEW) rather than a physiotherapist as previously reported, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Multiple sources told SaharaReporters that Habila was employed as a Community Health Extension Worker and was placed on the payroll of the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences (DUFUHS), allegedly through the influence of the Minister of Works, despite reportedly lacking the qualifications required for the position she was said to occupy.
