By Jeff Agbodo, Abakaliki

The people of Uburu in Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State have appealed for restraint in public discussions surrounding the death of nurse Mary Habila, urging that the matter should not be politicised while investigations are ongoing.

Habila, who was attached to the office of the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, reportedly died at the minister’s residence. She was also a staff member of the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences (DUFUHS), Uburu, where she had been working before her attachment to the Federal Ministry of Works.

In a statement issued by the National President of the Uburu community, Nicholas Odi, the community expressed condolences to Habila’s family, the management and staff of DUFUHS, and the people of Kaduna State over her death.
