Political analyst and Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Dr. Sam Amadi, has said the Minister of Works, David Umahi, should not have spoken publicly about the circumstances surrounding the death of Mary Habila, insisting that the police ought to have led communication on the case.

Amadi, who weighed in on the controversy surrounding the death of the 26-year-old nurse linked to the minister, described the situation as both “a PR and an ethical disaster.”

The former chairman of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), stated this on Friday night while fielding questions on Arise Television’s programme.
