The Incorporated Trustees of the Southern Kaduna Peoples’ United Associations (SOKAPU) has sued the Minister of Works over the death of nurse Mary Habila, who died at his residence.

A civil society organisation, the Kwechiri Unity Forum, had earlier filed a lawsuit against the minister and the Inspector-General of Police (IG), Olatunji Disu, alongside others for the same reason.

Habila died on June 27 under controversial circumstances at Umahi’s country home in Uburu, Ebonyi State.
