A former member of the House of Representatives, Independence Ogunewe, was on Tuesday found dead at his apartment in Abuja.
The 57-year-old deceased who was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party represented Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Federal Constituency, Imo State.
In the 6th Assembly (2007-2011), he was the Chairman, House Committee on Aviation.
The cause of the former lawmaker’s death is yet to be made public by the family members.
It will be recalled that Ogunewe, Mr. Dino Melaye and nine other members, gave the 6th Assembly Speaker, Mr. Dimeji Bankole, a tough time when they raised some allegations bordering on the finances of the House against the leadership.
The 11 members were later suspended by the House but the suspension was later quashed by a law court, forcing Bankole to re-admit them into the chambers.
