NSCDC van collapses in Abuja while transporting election materials to Lagos

On Friday evening, election eve, a Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps van carrying poll materials from Abuja to Lagos collapsed.

According to reports, the incident happened on the Giri Roundabout bridge in Abuja. Also, the truck was transporting NSCDC employees to Lagos.

People are seen helping to clean up papers that appear to be election materials from the ground in a social media video.

One of the passengers suffered a head injury, according to a man who spoke on camera. He claimed that some of the passengers were hurt.

He did however mention that certain senior NSCDC officers had been transferred to a separate location.

He explained, “When the accident occurred, those in the back hit the wood, and one person in front received a head wound. He might not be able to survive, I’m not sure.

“We then called for help. But some of the senior officers were moved to Gwarindada.”
