Legislative aides at the National Assembly on Tuesday protested over the death of their colleague, Mr. Hassan Abiodun, who was attached to the Office of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yusuf Sulaiman Lasun.

Abiodun was said to be suffering from appendicitis that required N165,000 to be operated on, but he died before he could raise the money to pay his hospital bill.

The aides attributed Abiodun’s death to irregular payment of salaries and allowances by the National Assembly Management.
