TheCable understands Maitala died in a car accident along the Abuja-Keffi road on his way to Jos on Friday night.

A close ally of the deceased confirmed that he died shortly after he was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Keffi, in Nasarawa state, at about 11pm.

“He was rushed to FMC, Keffi, but the doctors could not do much to save him,” the source said.

Maitala is now the fifth member of the lower legislative chamber to have died in the ninth assembly.

He died barely a month after the house lost Hassan Yuguda, who represented Gwaram federal constituency.

Joseph Adudu, a spokesperson, has confirmed his death in a statement.

He did barely a month...

Thank God he didn't embezzle much before he returned back to his LORD.
