Two lawmakers die hours apart

News Update

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.

Meanwhile, the lawmaker representing Kano Municipal Local Government Area, Hon. Sarki Aliyu Daneji, reportedly passed away barely minutes after news broke of the death of his colleague, Hon. Aminu Sa’adu.

The death of Hon. Sarki Aliyu Daneji was officially confirmed by the spokesperson to the Kano State Governor, Sanusi Bature, who announced the sad development in a post on his verified Facebook page.
