Tragedy struck the Kano State House of Assembly on Wednesday as two serving lawmakers were reported dead within minutes of each other, sending shockwaves across the state’s political landscape.

Reports indicate that Aminu Sa’adu, who represented Ungogo Constituency, fell ill shortly after arriving at the Assembly earlier in the day and was immediately rushed to a hospital, where doctors later confirmed his death.
