A member of the House of Representatives, Haruna Maitala, is dead.

A family member confirmed his death to PREMIUM TIMES Saturday morning.

He died in a road accident along Bade-Gitata road Friday night on his way to Jos.

He died alongside his son, driver and security aide, who were all in the vehicle, our source said.

Until his death, he represented Jos North/Bassa federal constituency of Plateau State.

His death comes barely a month after another lawmaker, Yuguda Killa from Jigawa State, passed on.

Mr Maitala is the third federal lawmaker to die this year.

Ten federal lawmakers have died since the inauguration of the ninth assembly in 2019.

the percentage at which the elites are dying is almost above the masses.
this should be a warning sign to all other politicians to reconsider humanity once more.

see the way buhari was disrespected in London with British police looking away as though it's no one's business.
imagine a whole country's president.
the only hope they have now is to remain in power cos if they leave power..
they may likely get the ekweremadu treatment abroad and at home the bandits they are overlooking would most likely comeback to bite them..

some of you guys are just commenting based on likes you will got from here not for education purposes. Only a fool will say the way masses are dying in Nigeria was equal with elites. Although the lives of elites are important to many of you guys only this month we know the number of people that got killed in Ebonyi state alone God punish Fulani herdsmen

Amaechi2023:
is either your deluded or you hate maths class.
I clearly stated percentage up there your here giving me number of people that died in ebonyi.
when dealing with percentage.
if 20 elites dies is almost as equivalent to 1 million masses depending on the number of elites to masses in the country.
while I may not have accurate data to back up my claim, there's no doubt that the death rates of elites have increased lately.
in previous years, we could go a year without a single elite or atmost 1 or 2 elites dying but 2020/2021 seems to be a different case.

If am there with you I will give you a resounding slap so your brain will restore to factory settling. I hate your moniker and it seems you are still feeding by your parents for you to reason like a man gonna be difficult for you.
