THE former Dagestan Prime Minister Magomed Abdulayev has been killed after being run over by a car in Makhachkala, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Dagestan in Russia.

Former Dagestan Prime Minister Magomed Abdulayev, 61, was killed by a car in Russia’s Makhachkala, as reported on Friday, January 5.

According to reports from Russia, the 61-year-old politician was hit by the car as he was crossing the road.

A 55-year-old driver was responsible for hitting the former Prime Minister of Dagestan, a republic of Russia situated in the North Caucasus of Eastern Europe, along the Caspian Sea.
