Gwamile Dajoh, elder brother of Hon. Aondona Dajoh, the immediate past Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, has passed away after reportedly collapsing on Sunday.
His death occurred only a few hours after news broke that his younger brother had resigned from his position as Speaker.
At the time of this report, full details surrounding the incident remain unclear, though sources suggest that Gwamile Dajoh had been deeply troubled by the political crisis rocking the Assembly prior to his sudden passing.
Hon. Aondona Dajoh’s resignation paved the way for the election of Hon. Alfred Berger as the new Speaker during an emergency plenary session on Sunday.
