A former member of the House of Representatives from Kogi State, Hon. Mohammed Idris, is dead.

The ex-lawmaker, who was the son of a former Governor of Kogi State, Ibrahim Idris, slumped and died in his residence shortly after returning from the Eid-el-Fitr prayer in Abuja on Wednesday.

Mohammed formerly represented Ankpa, Olamaboro and Omala Federal Constituency of Kogi State in the House of Representatives when his father was the state governor.

He has since been buried according to Islamic rites at the Gudu Cemetery after a funeral prayer attended by a crowd of mourners at the National Mosque in Abuja.
