The Minister of Works, David Umahi, on Thursday broke his silence on the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate death of Miss Mary Habila, a staff member who died at the minister’s residence in Uburu, Ebonyi State.

The Minister at a press conference in Abuja revealed that Mary Habila spoke with her boyfriend complaining that she was bleeding.

He said, “She spoke to her boyfriend at the hour of her death and complained that she was bleeding from the nose.

“The boyfriend said, ‘No, you have to report it.’ She said it had stopped. The boyfriend then said, ‘Listen, I will not continue this conversation since you are bleeding. It will increase the bleeding.’

“She told the boyfriend, ‘Don’t cut the call.’ The boyfriend cut the call. Three minutes later, the boyfriend called again. She was not responding.”

According to the minister, the deceased had earlier informed her boyfriend that she intended to take a bath before communication ceased.
