The family of 26-year-old physiotherapist, Mary Habila, popularly known as Mara, has announced the burial arrangements for the young healthcare professional who was found dead under controversial circumstances at the residence of Nigeria's Minister of Works, David Umahi, in Ebonyi State.

The announcement comes as police investigations into the circumstances surrounding her death continue, while investigators insist that an autopsy will be carried out to determine the exact cause of death.

SaharaReporters had exclusively reported that Habila died at the minister's official residence in Uburu, Ebonyi State, last Sunday.

The deceased, who was serving as a physiotherapist, was reportedly found naked when her body was removed from the minister's quarters, a development that has continued to fuel public outrage and demands for transparency over the circumstances surrounding her death.
