A former member of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Hon. Salihu Musa Iyimoga, is reportedly battling for his life after being found in a critical condition in a river on his return from Wamba. The incident, which has thrown the Doma community and political circles into a state of shock, occurred under circumstances that remain unclear as of the time of this report.
Iyimoga, who represented the Doma North Constituency in the 6th Assembly, was reportedly discovered in the river by residents who raised the alarm and rushed him to a medical facility. The former lawmaker, who had travelled to Wamba, was found in a state that has left family members, friends, and political associates deeply worried about his survival. According to sources close to the family, his condition is critical, and he is currently receiving medical attention at an undisclosed hospital.
The details surrounding the incident remain sketchy, and it is not yet clear whether it was an accident or if there were other factors at play. Efforts to reach family members and close associates for comments were unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report. The Nasarawa State Police Command has also not issued an official statement on the matter.
Iyimoga, a seasoned politician who once served as Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning under Governor Abdullahi Sule, has been a prominent figure in Nasarawa State politics. He was elected to the State House of Assembly in 2019 on the platform of the Zenith Labour Party before defecting to the All Progressives Congress in December 2023. He sought re-election in the 2023 general elections but was defeated by the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Mohammed Oyanki.
The news of his critical condition has sparked an outpouring of prayers and concern from across the political spectrum. Many are hoping for his speedy recovery as the community awaits further updates on his health status. As the situation develops, the people of Doma and the wider Nasarawa State are keeping vigil, praying for the survival of a man who has served his people with dedication. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
