Several members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Benue State have sustained serious injuries after a bus conveying them to a party rally in Lafia, Nasarawa State, collided head-on with another vehicle.
The accident occurred on Saturday morning, a few kilometres from the rally venue.
The number of injured delegates had yet to be confirmed as of the time of filing this report. The victims were reportedly taken to hospitals in Lafia for medical attention.
The incident was confirmed by Dan-Morgan Ihomun, the state publicity secretary of the Austin Agada faction of the APC, who said no lives were lost.
“The accident happened in Lafia and it involved two vehicles. But there was no loss of life. Those who sustained injuries have been rushed to the hospital,” Ihomun said.
The crash comes months after another accident involving APC delegates from Benue State travelling to Lafia for a party event.
On March 25, 2026, three delegates from Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State died, while about 10 others sustained injuries when a bus conveying them from Makurdi to Lafia crashed on their way to the APC North-Central Zonal Congress.
