The Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ignatius Longjan, is dead.
It was learnt that the senator died on Sunday at the aged of 75 years.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that a serving senator confirmed the demise of the deceased on condition of anonymity on Monday.
The senator said. “Yes, the man is dead but it is either his family, the Plateau State Government or the President of the Senate that could give an official statement on that.
“I saw the unfortunate news on senators Whatsapp group this morning. I don’t have details about his death but he has been sick for some time now. ”
Lonjan’s demise came barely two months after the red chamber lost a Senator from Imo State, Benjamin Uwajumogu, in December last year.
