The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has called for an independent investigation into the death of Mary Habila, who reportedly died at the official residence of the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, demanding that the minister step aside pending the outcome of the probe.
In a statement obtained by Politics Nigeria on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC said the circumstances surrounding Habila’s death had raised serious questions that required a transparent and independent investigation.
