A member of the Katsina House of Assembly, Dr Ibrahim Aminu Kurami, has died in Saudi Arabia.

The New Diplomat learnt that the lawmaker who is representing Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina state passed away at about 2am Nigerian time.

The lawmaker was said to have gone to Saudi to perform Umrah but developed a brief illness.

His funeral prayer and burial is expected to be conducted by the authorities of Saudi Arabia in line with Islamic rites.

The New Diplomat reports that Kurami was elected into Katsina State House of Assembly in a by-election conducted on October 31, 2020, following the death of his predecessor, Hon. Abdul-razak Ismail Tsiga.

It would be recalled also that in 2021, Kurami’s wife and two kids were kidnapped by bandits in a brazen attack on his home.

He was survived by two wives, 11 children and three grandchildren.
