Minister Umahi's Physio Died Naked in His Residence and He Says She Was 'Seconded'

Works Minister David Umahi is telling us that Mary Habila, a physiotherapist from Kaduna, was 'seconded' to his residence and just died there. But SaharaReporters got photos showing her body was found completely naked. Police sources say she and another woman, Anita Baski, were brought from Kaduna on June 26 by Umahi's police aide Jonathan Bawado. The next morning she was dead. Nobody is explaining why a minister needs physiotherapists brought from another state to his private home.

Umahi says he received her parents and begged them for an autopsy. But why was a young woman naked in your house, Minister? If she was just a staff member on official duty, why was her body discovered without clothes? The police have moved the case to SCID in Abakaliki but the Ebonyi government and police command have kept quiet. This is not adding up.

How many more young women will die in powerful men's houses before we start asking the right questions?
