The Abuja Police Authority have taken over the investigation into the death of Mary Habila, the health worker who died under controversial circumstances at the residence of the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, in Ebonyi State.

Information gathered by Politics Nigeria indicates that authorities in Abuja have assumed control of the probe, with officials in Ebonyi expected to hand over relevant case files and evidence to the new investigative team.

The move comes weeks after questions emerged over the circumstances surrounding Habila’s death at Umahi’s private residence in Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

Sources familiar with the matter said arrangements are also being made for the deceased’s remains to be transferred to Abuja, where forensic procedures, including an autopsy, may be carried out as part of efforts to determine the exact cause of death.
