Senator Abdul Ningi recounted the tragic death of his fellow senator, Bello Mandiya, who allegedly died after slipping in his Abuja bathroom and hitting his head. Mandiya's body was discovered approximately 72 hours later by concerned neighbors who were alerted by a foul odor emanating from his apartment. Ningi, representing the Bauchi Central Senatorial District, disclosed that Mandiya's body was found in the bathroom by a group of residents who had broken open the door due to the unusual smell.
The incident occurred on September 7, 2026. Mandiya was last seen by a colleague at around 11 am on Friday, September 4, before he returned to his residence to prepare for the Friday congregational prayer. Despite his regular attendance at daily prayers, Mandiya was absent for three consecutive days, prompting the imam of Apo to raise concerns.
The combination of the imam's worry and the foul smell led to the discovery of Mandiya's lifeless body. Ningi expressed his condolences to Mandiya's family, the people of Katsina State, and his constituents. He emphasized the unpredictability of life and the fragility of political positions, wealth, and social status.
