He asked for her remains to be released immediately for burial and withdrew from further police or court investigations. Miss Habila, a physiotherapist and personal nurse to the Honourable Minister of Works, died on June 27, 2026, at the Minister’s residence in Uburu, Ebonyi State. Although the police and the Minister had sought a post-mortem to determine her cause of death, the family insists on leaving her body intact. The court has not yet ruled on the application to release her remains. The family maintains it suspects no foul play and will not respond to further legal invitations.
