Calls for an independent autopsy into the death of Mary Habila are growing after her family announced the postponement of her burial, citing “unforeseen circumstances.”
Mary Habila’s death has attracted public attention following claims circulating online regarding the circumstances surrounding her death. Those claims have not been independently verified, and no official investigation has publicly confirmed them.
In a statement issued on behalf of the family, Elisha Haruna announced that the burial would no longer hold as previously scheduled.
The statement reads:
NOTICE OF POSTPONEMENT OF BURIAL
“We wish to inform family, friends, and well-wishers that the burial ceremony of our beloved daughter (Mary Habila) has been postponed until further notice due to unforeseen circumstances.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding, patience, and continued support during this time.
A new date for the burial will be communicated as soon as arrangements are finalized.
Thank you for your prayers, understanding, and cooperation.
Elisha Haruna

The postponement has fueled public calls for a thorough and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mary Habila’s death, with some individuals urging the relevant authorities to consider an independent autopsy if the family consents and where legally appropriate.
As of the time of this report, no official statement has been issued by law enforcement or other relevant authorities confirming the cause of death or announcing the commencement of any investigation.
The case continues to attract public interest, with many Nigerians calling for transparency, accountability, and a fact-based inquiry to establish the circumstances surrounding her death.
