Immediate past governor of Nasarawa State, Mr Aliyu Akwe-Doma, is dead.

He died after a brief illness at a foreign hospital in Israel, a nephew Mr Ahmed Bako, said Tuesday night.

Already, sympathisers have gathered at Akwe-Doma’s house in Orozo, Karshi district of Abuja.

He governed Nasarawa State between 2007 to 2011 when he was defeated by incumbent governor Umaru Al-makura.
