The woman found dead at the residence of Nigeria's Minister of Works, David Umahi, who has been identified as Mary Habila, died naked at the Minister’s quarters, SaharaReporters has gathered.

According to exclusive findings by SaharaReporters on Sunday, Habila, a Physiotherapist, was reportedly found naked when her body was removed from the minister's residence.


SaharaReporters had reported that the minister, David Umahi, confirmed that Mary Habila died at his residence in Uburu, Ebonyi State. He had claimed that she was a physiotherapist seconded to the Federal Ministry of Works from the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences.

Exclusive photographs obtained by SaharaReporters showed that Mary Habila was found without clothing when her body was removed from the minister's residence.

Despite the Minister's official statement claiming that Mary Habila and Mary Baski were physiotherapists employed by the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences and seconded to his residence, police sources familiar with the investigation have disputed that account.

According to the sources, Habila and Baski arrived at the minister's residence on June 26 after travelling from Kaduna State. Investigators alleged that the two women were brought from Kaduna to attend to the minister.

According to the sources, Habila and Baski arrived at the minister's residence on June 26 after travelling from Kaduna State. Investigators alleged that the two women were brought from Kaduna to attend to the minister.


Habila was found dead inside the residence the following morning under circumstances that investigators are still working to establish.

Police sources further disclosed that Jonathan Bawado, a police officer serving as Senator David Umahi's Personal Assistant and who previously served as his Aide-de-Camp (ADC) during Umahi's tenure as Governor of Ebonyi State, was responsible for bringing the two women to the residence.

According to the sources, Bawado was also the individual who alerted medical personnel after Habila was discovered unresponsive.

There have been also public concerns about how staff of the University hospital were seconded to the residence of the Minister of Works for no official reasons.

In a statement issued on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Francis Nwaze, Umahi had described Habila's death as "unfortunate" and said he received the news with profound shock and sadness.

According to the statement, the minister said emergency measures were immediately activated after the incident, with medical personnel, including the Chief Medical Director of the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences (DUFUHS), Uburu, contacted without delay.

He added that the Nigerian police was also promptly notified in line with legal procedures.

The minister claimed that after Habila's death was confirmed, he personally received her parents, offered his condolences, and advised the family to consent to an autopsy to scientifically establish the cause of death.

However, the minister claimed that the family initially declined the recommendation.

The death of Mary Habila has generated public interest following reports questioning the circumstances under which she died while in Uburu, Ebonyi State, prompting calls for a transparent investigation.

SaharaReporters previously reported that Habbila died under mysterious circumstances inside the country home of Nigeria's Umahi in Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

SaharaReporters' investigation revealed that the incident had been shrouded in secrecy, with both the Ebonyi State Government and the state police command maintaining silence over the matter.

Multiple police sources told SaharaReporters that the incident occurred on June 27, 2026, barely a day after Habbila and another woman, Anita Baski, both from Kaduna State, were reportedly brought to the minister's residence.

SaharaReporters learnt that the death had since triggered a police investigation, with the case transferred from the Ohaozara Divisional Police Headquarters to the Ebonyi State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Abakaliki.

Habbila was, however, found dead inside the residence the following morning under circumstances investigators are still trying to establish.

According to the sources, a doctor and an ambulance were subsequently dispatched to the residence, while the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ohaozara Police Division, CSP Tobechukwu Godwin, was notified of the incident.

SaharaReporters further learnt that Professor Chihurumnanya Alo, Consultant Public Health Physician, Infectious Diseases Specialist and Chief Medical Director of the David Umahi Federal University Teaching Hospital (DUFUTH), Uburu, was also alerted about the incident.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sir pls increase the money for us! The lady requested.

Increase which money? You are very stupid! If the one I gave you people is not enough for you then you can go to hell! His Excellency responded angrily.

Sorry sir but that is not the amount we agreed on! The lady insisted.

I dont care! i have given you what i want to give you! Now both of you get out of my house! Excellency retorted angrilly.

Sir am not going oo until you complete our money tht you promised to give us! The lady insisted.

You are very stupid! Gbosa! Gbosa! (heavy angry slaps). Get out of my house idiot! gbosa! gbosa! i will kill you and nothing will happen! another gbosa! gbosa! Excellency continues hitting the girl.

Girl falls back and hits back of her head hard on the wall and collapsed!

Thiinking she was faking it, Excellency still went and stomp on her out of anger exclaiming! I will kill you and nothing will happen!
i am a minister of the republic! You should learn to respect that! animal! bc i slept with you you think you can then disrespect me! animal!

After some few minutes, the girl did not stand up! Excellency went close, turn her around and saw only her dilated pupil! He shouted! Chileke! make una come see this girloo! she don faint oo!

His aides rushed in. one of them went to the girl and checked her pulse and proclaimed: Your Excellency! She is dead!

What! the excellency exclaimed! She just falloo! he tried to explain. I no even touch heroo! Chai! which kain wahalla be this?

The orderly stood up and console him: Boss don worry. We will take care of these. Though e go cost money sha! But we will take care of it!

The Excellency turn to the orderly and said. do whatever you can to clean this up no matter the cost! In fact, am not even at home when this happened!

Yes Sir! It will be cleaned up. the orderly assured him. . .


But they forgot their are other witness. . .

THIS IS PURELY IMAGINATION.

I don't know why Sahara Reporters are always reckless, unprofessional, and senselessly sensational in their reportage. Why not allow the Police Force to conclude their investigation before coming up with whatever they have to say? At least, for the sake of the deceased and her grieving family.

Politicians and rituals are like bread and butter

Useless reportage from Sahara reporters. They kept saying the same thing all over again.

How do you write such a bulky story without actually saying anything?

God forbid. This should be investigated

umahi dey do oil change the girl died naked no wonder that woman deputy governor of akwa ibom dey lobby assembly to pass law against cheating, say 10 years imprisonment for the girl wey friend married man, the man go pay 2milliion

I remember the one in Akwa Ibom years ago. Well wail and forget about it. Sad state of Nigeria.

so far as it is APC it will die a natural death.

This country can't be good until the youths take proper responsibilty over issues and stop getting divided over politicizing and adding religious sentiments to every topic in the country

Associate yourself with any Oluwole politicians and see your self dead in 3-6 months. They are vampires sucking human blood.

Wonders shall never end

Just imagine this terrible death and the controversial statement emanating from Dave Umahi and the authorities. This criminal homicide case has to be thoroughly investigated.

Tinubu's ministers are ritualists and murderers. Government of all manner of questionable characters. From drug dealers, to murderers, terrorists, and scammers.

ThIs minister is never too far away from controversy. In all fairnesa, he should be at the Force Headquarters by now, giving his statement to the police, because you and I both know, if this was me or you, the Police would have arrested us promptly and even start making allegations that we murdered the woman.

Let investigation be carried out, and let sentiment not be the order of the day.

And Obi is their problem

Ritualistic tendency of a Prof.

Hmmm this might be a violent sexual encounter with this apc politician oo. People wey dey fund bandits
