A former Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Zakawanu Garuba, is dead.

A family source who did not want to be named, said the former two-time member of Edo Assembly died of undisclosed ailment at an Abuja hospital Saturday morning.

Born on 23 August 1965, in Akpekpe community, Auchi, in Etsako West local government area of the state, Garuba studied law at the University of Ife, Ile Ife, Osun State (now Obafemi Awolowo University), and was called to Bar in 1990.

He was elected into the Edo State House of Assembly in 2003, on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
