The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday adjourned plenary to honour House of Reps member, Jafaru Illiyasu, who died on Monday.

Okay.ng on Monday reported that how Jafa’aru Ilyasu, representing Rijau/Magama federal constituency in Niger state, passed in his sleep after returning from a Lagos trip on Sunday evening.

During Plenary on Tuesday, Senate Leader, Senator Yahaya Abdullahi, had come under Order 43 of the Senate Rules shortly after the Senate President, Dr Ahmad Lawan, had said the opening prayer and read an Executive communication from the President, to draw the attention of his colleagues to the death of Hon Ilyasu and requested for a minute silence in his honour.

He also moved a motion for the suspension of plenary till tomorrow in line with the tradition of the National Assembly.
