Renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana has called for a thorough investigation into the suspicious deaths of Mary Habila and Babatunde Tanimola, warning against attempts to "sweep under the carpet" these cases. Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, urged the Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, to take over the investigation and expedite an autopsy in Habila's case.
He also demanded an independent probe into Tanimola's death, which the Presidency has identified as a principal suspect in a fake government agency scandal. Falana expressed concern over the handling of Habila's case, questioning the minister's denial of foul play and the delay in conducting an autopsy. He also criticized the demolition of the hotel where Tanimola was allegedly killed, suggesting it may be an attempt to cover up the incident.
Falana emphasized that every suspicious death deserves a thorough and independent probe, highlighting the sanctity of human life and the importance of upholding basic human rights.
