The Ohanivo Women Association (OWA) in Ebonyi State is urging the public to remain composed regarding the recent passing of Mary Habila at the home of Works Minister Senator David Umahi. Represented by Public Relations Officer Favour Okorie, the group extended their deepest sympathies to the bereaved family while requesting that citizens avoid spreading unconfirmed reports.
OWA stressed the importance of allowing official investigations to proceed without the interference of public speculation. The organization emphasized that sensitivity and privacy are essential for the family during this difficult time. They formally supported the proposal made by Senator Umahi to conduct a thorough autopsy, viewing this step as a vital requirement for achieving justice and clarity.
The association further noted that the minister had alerted police authorities immediately following the incident to facilitate a formal inquiry. Recognizing the immense pain of the parents, the group pleaded with the media and community stakeholders to honor the family’s desire for privacy. They concluded by encouraging the public to focus on providing support rather than engaging in commentary that might heighten the family’s distress.
