A women’s organisation in Ebonyi State, Ohanivo Women Association (OWA), has called for calm and restraint following the death of Mary Habila at the residence of the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi.
The group also expressed sympathy with the family of the deceased, urging members of the public to avoid making unverified allegations and allow due process to determine the circumstances surrounding her death.
In a statement by its Public Relations Officer, Mrs Favour Okorie, OWA appealed for compassion and respect for the bereaved family, warning that public speculation could further deepen their grief and inflame emotions.
The association urged the public, community leaders, stakeholders and the media to respect the family’s privacy and allow them to mourn with dignity.
