BREAKING: Plateau South senator dies

The Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District, Ignatius Longjan, has passed on.

This was confirmed by one of his colleagues on condition of anonymity in the Senate on Monday Morning.

According to the senator, the detail about Longjan’s death is unknown, but he has been sick for some time.

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 former deputy governor of Plateau state died barely two months after the red chamber lost a Senator from Imo State, Benjamin Uwajumogu, in December 2020.
