Nnamdi Okafor, a member of the Anambra state house of assembly, is d3ad.
Emeka Ral, an aide to the legislator, confirmed the development on Wednesday.
Although the circumstances surrounding the d3ath of the lawmaker are uncertain, he was said to have d#ed in Sandton City, Johannesburg, South Africa on Tuesday.
He was said to have traveled to South Africa alongside other members of the state house of assembly for a legislative retreat.
Before his passing, Okafor represented Awka south constituency 1 on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
The development comes weeks after Okechukwu Okoye, a lawmaker representing Aguata II constituency in the state house of assembly was found dead after he was abducted.
Okoye was abducted in May but was later found beheaded. A month later, Nelson Achukwu, a former member of the Anambra state house of assembly, died in similar circumstances.
Achukwu represented the Nnewi south II constituency between 2003 and 2007
