Umar Audi, member representing Bayo constituency at the
Borno state house of assembly, is dead.
He died at the University of Maiduguri
Teaching Hospital on Tuesday evening.
A hospital source said Audi was initially rejected because
there was no bed space. The health workers were said to have stood their ground
that the only available space was for any emergency that has to do with
childbirth.
But the family members who took him there reportedly
prevailed upon the hospital authorities before he was attended to.
“He died shortly after they admitted him. His sample has
been sent to the Nigeria Center for Disease Control to certify if the death has
anything to do with COVID-19,” the source said.
Audi’s death comes barely a week after the death of Bukar
Wakil Lawan, lawmaker representing Nganzai constituency in Borno.
