The Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy on Thursday said the name “Mary Habila” does not appear on its register of licensed physiotherapists, amid ongoing public attention over the death of the 26-year-old health worker at a residence linked to the Minister of Works, David Umahi.

The society made the clarification in a statement posted on its official X page on Thursday, following what it described as verification through the appropriate regulatory channels.
“Following verification through the appropriate regulatory channels, the name ‘Mary Habila,’ as stated, does not appear on the database of registered physiotherapists,” the statement read.
The NSP said the development underscored the need for public officials, particularly those in high office, to exercise due diligence before presenting or associating individuals with regulated professions.
