A few days after the death of a member of the House of Representatives, Haruna Maitala, his son and driver, another member of the House has died.
The dead member, according to TNG, was the lawmaker representing Lere Federal Constituency, Suleiman Aliyu.
He reportedly died on Tuesday at the age of 53 years, becoming the fourth this year (2021).
According to reports, Aliyu died in the early hours of Tuesday at the Barau Dikko Hospital in Kaduna.
Two relatives of the deceased, Hassan Banaga and Murjanatu Garba, as reported, confimed the death.
The lawmaker died from an undisclosed illness.
“We are here at Barau Dikko Hospital Kaduna to take the body for burial. He is going to be buried in Lere town at 3 pm,” a close relative of the deceased lawmaker said.
Aliyu was sworn in by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, in March 2020 despite contesting for the seat in the 2019 general election.
He was sworn in after the Court of Appeal in Kaduna declared him the winner of the election and removed Lawal Adamu of the PDP who was occupying the seat.
Aliyu was of the APC and was a former Commissioner of Water resources in Kaduna State.
