The body of 26-year-old physiotherapist Mary Habila, who died at the residence of Nigeria's Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has yet to be released to her family after the Ebonyi State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) advised that only a post-mortem examination can establish the cause of her sudden death, SaharaReporters has learnt.

According to exclusive findings by SaharaReporters on Sunday, Habila, a Physiotherapist, was reportedly found naked when her body was removed from the minister's residence.

The confirmation follows Saharareporters' exclusive report stating that the circumstances surrounding Habila's death were shrouded in secrecy.
