The Northern Youth Assembly of Nigeria (NYAN) has urged the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, to ensure that investigation into the death of Mary Habila is independent, transparent, professional and free from political interference.
The group made the call on Thursday while reacting to the death of Habila, who reportedly died on June 27, 2026, at the residence of the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, in Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
Addressing journalists in Abuja on behalf of the group, its National Speaker, Hon. Faruq Dangi Ahmed, represented by Shuaib Ishaq Yahaya, said all individuals connected to the circumstances surrounding Habila’s death should be thoroughly investigated.
NYAN said all available evidence, including forensic reports, medical findings, witness accounts, CCTV footage where available and relevant communication records obtained in accordance with the law, should be examined without fear or favour.
