“He spent five days in the hospital and passed away this morning. The funeral prayer is going to take place today at 5 pm in Lere town,” Maibindiga said.
Aliyu was sworn in as a member of the lower legislative chamber in March 2020 after an appeal court declared him winner of the constituency’s election.
He is the sixth member of the house of representatives to have died in the ninth assembly — and the third to pass on in the last one month.

He died four days after the passing of Haruna Maitala, a member of the house from Plateau state.
Maitala died in a car accident along the Abuja-Keffi road on his way to Jos.
