The senator representing Imo north, Benjamin Uwajumogu, is dead, a family member told CHECKPOINTCHARLEY on Wednesday.
He was said to have slumped and was taken to a private hospital in Abuja where he was confirmed dead.
Uwajumogu’s sudden death is shocking as he looked healthy and even contributed to debates on the floor of the senate on Tuesday.
Until his death, he was the senate committee chairman on employment, labour and productivity.
This is the second death to be recorded in the ninth assembly since its inauguration in June.
Jafaru Iliyasu Auna, a house of representatives member, had also died earlier this month.
