Since the inauguration of the Ninth National Assembly in 2019, Nigerians have witnessed the death of no fewer than 10 federal legislators. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives have grieved over the loss of some of their colleagues. While some died due to old age, others died after suffering one illness or the other.
