Dave Umahi Denies Any Role in Mary Habila’s Death, Vows Legal Action

Minister Dave Umahi has rejected allegations linking him to the death of Mary Habila at his private residence in Ebonyi State. He says a “wrong girl” was brought to his home and that his lawyers will pursue those spreading false narratives. Umahi explained that the deceased was a former guesthouse resident in Asokoro alongside other workers. He questioned how someone else came to be associated with his estate and insisted there was no foul play on his part. Activist Charles Ogbu has called for an independent investigation after the state Ministry of Justice classified the death as “unnatural.” An affidavit from the late woman’s father reportedly states the family does not suspect foul play and does not wish to pursue further inquiry. The minister’s latest statement has intensified debate online, with many Nigerians demanding transparency to establish the facts.
