A former lawmaker, Senator Buruji Kashamu, is dead. Kashamu, who represented Ogun-East senatorial district between 2015 and 2019, died  of COVID-19 at First Cardiology Consultants in Lagos. The hospital is the same facility where a former Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi; and the President’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, died. It was learnt that Kashamu, who had diabetes and high blood pressure, was admitted at the hospital for over a week before giving up the ghost. Confirming his death, a former lawmaker, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, said the deceased would be sorely missed. Kashamu, who was the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2019 election was facing extradition for alleged drug trafficking before his death.
