Nnamdi Okafor, a member of the Anambra State House of Assembly representing Awka South State constituency 1, is dead.
Okafor, who is also a majority leader of the State Assembly, reportedly slumped in a hotel in South Africa, where he is holidaying.
Reports say the two-time lawmaker collapsed in the early hours of Wednesday in a Hotel in Sandton City Johannesburg, South Africa, and was confirmed dead hours later.
Confirming the development, a source, who announced the death in a political WhatsApp group said, “The Majority Leader of Anambra State House Of Assembly and Member representing Awka South Constituency 1, Hon.
