Umahi Condemns Portrayal of Late Aide as 'Runs Girl' Despite Flying Together

Senator David Umahi has criticized reports depicting Mary Habila and her colleague—who were on official medical duty at his residence—as “runs girls.” Speaking on Symfoni TV, he said he flew to Lagos on the same plane with both staff members and was surprised by the allegations. He described Mary’s death as a personal tragedy, comparing it to losing a daughter. Umahi shared an account from Mary’s boyfriend, who said she experienced nosebleeds at a conference in Lagos and chose to seek treatment on her own rather than involve her supervisor. He has asked police to retrieve her call logs to verify her final conversation.

It's striking how a simple flight detail was overlooked in sensational headlines branding public servants unfairly without any solid proof.

Those reports might seem baseless but journalism often chases clicks. We should weigh possible intent before fully exonerating every report.

Media outlets should establish clear verification protocols and follow up on official statements before publishing damaging personal allegations.
