Nigeria’s former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ibrahim Nasiru Mantu, is dead.
Born in 1947, Mantu, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party Party (PDP), who represented Plateau Central Senatorial District in the Senate, reportedly died in the early hours of Tuesday.
A family source was said to have disclosed that Mantu had been sick in the past one week and was taken to an Abuja hospital as his condition did not improve.
The source said that arrangements were been made for the burial of the late Senator later today according to Islamic rites.
