A member of the House of Representatives, representing APC Jos North/ Bassa Constituency, Haruna Maitala has died in a car accident just two days to his wedding.
The lawmaker, 69, was said to have died in the accident alongside his son Jafaru, legislative aide and driver on Friday evening.
Mr Abdulkadir Abubakar, senior legislative aide to the lawmaker who confirmed the accident on Saturday said Maitala, along with the others, was on his way to Jos from Abuja when the accident occurred.
“I am not familiar with the road but the accident occurred around Kwoi-Kafachan-Jos Road.
” He died alongside his son, his legislative aide and his driver.
“Their corpses were deposited at Kwoi General Hospital in the Jabba Local Government of Kaduna State.
“We are at the hospital preparing to take their corpses to Jos for burial,” Abubakar told NAN.
A source close to the family also told NAN that the lawmaker was on his way to Jos for his wedding slated to hold on Sunday.
