SOKAPU sues Umahi over Nurse Habila’s death; demands autopsy, N20bn damages
The association is seeking an order compelling the conduct of an autopsy on the deceased to establish the cause of death and is also claiming N20 billion in damages against the minister over the alleged loss of life arising from what it described as a breach of duty of care while the deceased was under his custody.
Umahi had also written to the Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police requesting that an autopsy be carried out as part of efforts to determine the circumstances surrounding the nurse’s death.
The legal action follows earlier developments in which the Ebonyi State Police Command maintained that an autopsy would be conducted despite reported opposition from some members of the deceased’s family.
