A member of the House of Representatives, Haruna Maitala, who represented Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency of Plateau State, has died.
Premium Times reports that Haruna Maitala died on Saturday morning in a road accident along Bade-Gitata Road Friday night when he was going to Jos.
The lawmaker is said to die alongside his son, driver, and security aide, who were all in the vehicle, according to Premium Times.
His death comes barely a month after another lawmaker, Yuguda Killa from Jigawa State, passed on.
Maitala is the third Federal lawmaker to die this year.
About 10 Federal lawmakers have died since the inauguration of the ninth assembly in 2019.
