Fresh controversy has erupted over the death of Mary Habila after former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, publicly questioned the handling of the case and called for a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding her reported death.
Mary Habila was reportedly found dead at the Abuja residence of the Minister of Works, David Umahi, a development that has sparked widespread reactions and renewed debate over accountability and equal justice in Nigeria.
Reacting through a statement shared on his social media page, Dalung challenged security agencies to conduct what he described as a thorough, impartial and transparent investigation into the incident. He argued that every suspicious death deserves equal attention, regardless of the social or political status of those involved.
The former minister questioned whether public officials receive special treatment under the law, asking if the response would have been different had the body of a minister’s family member been discovered in the home of an ordinary Nigerian.
According to Dalung, the situation raises serious concerns about equality before the law and whether influential public office holders are subjected to the same level of scrutiny as other citizens.
He also questioned why, despite reports that Mary Habila was found dead at the minister’s residence, several unanswered questions remain while the Minister of Works continues his official duties.
Dalung stressed that justice should never be determined by wealth, political influence or social status. He maintained that every Nigerian life carries equal value and urged law enforcement agencies to ensure that the facts surrounding the case are established through an independent investigation.
His comments have generated intense discussions on social media, with many Nigerians calling for transparency and due process, while others have urged the public to allow investigators to carry out their work without prejudice.
As public interest in the case continues to grow, attention is now focused on the actions of security agencies and whether a comprehensive investigation will address the lingering questions surrounding Mary Habila’s death.
