Nigeria’s popular politician and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives during the Second Republic, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has died at an isolation centre.
Mohammed, a fierce critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, died at the centre, where parients are usually quarantined for treatment in Kano on Thursday evening.
One of his sons who confirmed this death, however, said that his father tested negative to COVID-19.
It was learnt that his corpse would be received by the family for burial on Friday.
The Soviet-trained medical doctor was elected to the National Assembly in 1979 on the platform of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
The late Mohammed, who was Second Republic Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, was a critic of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He was 73.
