Nigerian Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Ignatius Longjan, has passed away.
On Monday morning, one of his colleagues in the Senate confirmed his demise to newsmen on condition of anonymity.
The senator said. “Yes, the man is dead but it is either his family, the Plateau State Government or the President of the Senate that could give an official statement on that.
“I saw the unfortunate news on senators Whatsapp group this morning. I don’t have details about his death but he has been sick for some time now.”
The death of Lonjan came barely two months after the Senate chamber lost a Senator from Imo State, Benjamin Uwajumogu, in December last year.
