ACTIVIST DEMANDS PROBE OF UMAHI PHYSIOTHERAPIST’S DEATH
A civil rights activist has called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the death of a physiotherapist reportedly attached to the Minister of Works, David Umahi.
The activist urged relevant authorities and security agencies to determine the circumstances surrounding the death, stressing that a comprehensive investigation would help establish the facts and ensure accountability where necessary.
According to the activist, public confidence in the justice system depends on prompt, impartial, and professional investigations into cases that attract widespread public interest.
He also appealed to law enforcement agencies to conduct the investigation without interference and ensure that all relevant witnesses and evidence are properly examined.
The call comes amid growing public interest in the incident, with many Nigerians seeking clarity on the events leading to the physiotherapist’s death.
Legal practitioners noted that an independent investigation is essential to dispel speculation and ensure that any findings are based solely on credible evidence.
The activist further urged the authorities to keep the public informed on the progress of the investigation while respecting the rights of all individuals involved.
Observers have emphasised the importance of allowing investigators to carry out their duties without prejudice, noting that due process should guide every stage of the inquiry.
Security agencies have yet to conclude investigations, and no official determination has been made regarding the cause or circumstances of the death.
The activist expressed hope that the investigation would provide answers for the deceased’s family and reinforce public trust in the administration of justice.
