Emergency responders have confirmed that 11 persons comprising one female Plateau delegate and five other members of the All Progressives Congress collapsed at the just concluded presidential primary.
It was gathered that the incidents attracted the attention of security operatives and sympathisers, who often carried them to waiting ambulances positioned at strategic locations at the venue.
Some of the victims allegedly showed strains of burnout, fatigue, and chronic health challenges like seizures and had to be ferried out in ambulances with speed for further treatment.
While approaching the ‘Disaster Management Rescue’ team stationed at the convention ground by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, our correspondent saw another patient being driven out in an ambulance on Wednesday.
A health official, who identified himself only as Ade, confirmed that the victim came down with fatigue and couldn’t walk.
