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

A family member confirmed his death to the press. 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.
