There have been pressure on Nasarawa lawmakers to conduct Covid-19 test, after the death of Alhaji Sulaiman Adamu, a lawmaker representing Nasarawa central constituency who succumbed to the coronavirus pandemic.

Sulaiman was the first patient to die of Coronavirus complications in the north-central state since Nasarawa reported its index case of the disease.

The late lawmaker died before the result of his test came back positive.

Following his death, the Nasarawa state house of assembly complex was closed until it decontaminated.
