He disclosed that Kaura, who was hale and hearty, suddenly took ill after a consultative meeting with the state Council of Ulama in Gusau on Wednesday.

Lugga added that the PDP chairman was confirmed dead by doctors after he was rushed to Al-Hilal Hospital in the state capital.

He stated that the 62-year-old party chairman was survived by two wives and six children.
