ADC Demands Independent Probe into Mary Habila's Death

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has demanded an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mary Habila, who reportedly died in the residence of Senator David Umahi. In a statement issued on Wednesday by the party's National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC expressed deep concern over the unresolved circumstances of Habila's tragic death.

The party emphasized that every Nigerian life matters and that the incident transcends private tragedy, raising questions of public accountability. The ADC accused President Bola Tinubu's administration of attempting to cover up the incident and shield senior officials from scrutiny.

They called for Senator Umahi to step aside pending the outcome of the investigation, arguing that the current administration's instinct is to protect its members rather than facilitate independent inquiries. The ADC extended condolences to Habila's family, asserting that they deserve dignity and truth, and highlighted the need for transparency to maintain public trust.
