Senator Gyang Dantong, health committee chair, Others Murdered


The Senator representing Plateau North Senatorial District in the upper legislative chamber has died.

The member representing Barikin Ladi at the State House of Assembly, Gyang Fulani was also reported dead Sunday.

There are however conflicting reports of how the two lawmakers died.

While one version said they were shot dead while attending the burial of those killed on Saturday in attacks on some villages in Barinkin Ladi, the News Agency of Nigeria quoted Rwang Dantong as saying his brother, 55, died of heart attack.

When contacted, the spokesman of the state command of the Nigerian Police, Emmanuel Abu, said he heard of the incident but was yet to be briefed officially.
