Another Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Mustapha Bukar, is dead.
Family sources said Mr Bukar, who represented Katsina North (Daura Zone) in the Senate, died on Wednesday morning after a brief illness.
Daura is the hometown of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Details of the place or hospital where he died are sketchy as at time of filing this report.
