The Incorporated Trustees of the Southern Kaduna Peoples’ United Association (SOKAPU) has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Kaduna against the Minister of Works, David Umahi, over the death of Mary Habila, a nurse attached to the minister’s medical team.
Habila died on June 27 at the minister’s residence. The case has drawn public attention and demands for a full investigation into the circumstances of her death.
SOKAPU joined Habila’s father, Habila Tanko Wisdom, the Attorney-General of Ebonyi State, and the Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police as respondents. The association is asking the court to order an autopsy to determine the cause of death. It is also claiming ₦20 billion in damages from the minister, alleging a breach of duty of care while the nurse was under his custody.
The suit follows statements from the Ebonyi State Police Command that an autopsy would still be carried out, even though some members of the deceased’s family had reportedly opposed it. Umahi himself wrote to the state police commissioner requesting that an autopsy be conducted to clarify the circumstances surrounding the death.
