The majority leader of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon Nnamdi Okafor has reportedly slumped and died.
Okafor represents Awka South State constituency 1 at the state assembly.
The lawmaker, who is holidaying in South Africa, reportedly slumped in his hotel room and died.
According to Daily Post, the death was announced in a political WhatsApp group as follows: “The Majority Leader of Anambra State House Of Assembly and Member representing Awka South Constituency 1, Hon. Nnamdi Okafor (Akajiugo Awka) collapsed in the early hours of today in a Hotel at Sandton City Johannesburg, South Africa and was confirmed dead hours later.
