The Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy (NSP) issued a formal statement on Thursday via its official X account to address reports concerning Mary Habila. The organization confirmed that Habila is not included in their official registry of licensed physiotherapists.
After checking official regulatory records, the NSP stated that the individual’s name is missing from their database. The society urged government officials to practice due diligence when associating individuals with licensed professions, emphasizing that professional identity relies on documented evidence rather than public assumptions. The organization stressed the importance of verifying credentials through established regulatory channels to maintain professional integrity.
While addressing the lack of official registration, the NSP expressed its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased. They called for accuracy in public reporting and acknowledged the tragic nature of the situation.
