The Nigerian senate on Tuesday April 13 suspended its plenary over the death of two lawmakers, just after it resumed from a two-week recess.
The lawmakers held a minute of silence in honour of Haruna Maitala, who represented Bassa/Jos North federal constituency of Plateau, and Suleiman Lere, who represented Lere federal constituency of Kaduna.
The lawmakers suspended all items for consideration on the senate’s order paper and will not sit until Wednesday April 14.
