The Ebonyi State Police Command has insisted on conducting a post-mortem examination into the death of Miss Mary Habila, a physiotherapist who died at the residence of the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, in Uburu community of the state.
The command said preliminary findings showed that the deceased and a colleague were members of the medical team attached to the minister and had accompanied him to his hometown in Uburu, where she died in a room within the compound of his residence.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, SP Joshua Ukandu, in a statement on Wednesday, said the police had commenced a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
He said detectives had visited the scene and obtained statements from relevant persons, adding that the command would engage the services of a pathologist to conduct a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death and support the ongoing investigation.
