A bus carrying members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Benue State crashed near Lafia, Nasarawa State, on Saturday morning. The accident occurred just a few kilometers from the party’s rally venue. The bus collided head-on with another vehicle, causing several delegates to sustain serious injuries.
The incident involved a delegation traveling to a political rally organized by the APC. Witnesses reported that the crash happened shortly after the bus departed from a nearby location. Emergency services were called to the scene, but the exact number of injured remains unclear.
This is not the first time the APC has faced logistical challenges during campaign activities. In 2026, a similar incident occurred in Lagos, where a bus carrying APC supporters was involved in a collision, resulting in multiple injuries. The party has since increased its safety protocols for campaign travel.
The APC, a major political party in Nigeria, is currently preparing for the 2027 general elections. The recent crash highlights the risks associated with large-scale political mobilization. The injured delegates are expected to receive medical attention, and the party may review its transportation arrangements for future events.
