Some personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, were reportedly injured during an accident involving an operational vehicle on Friday evening.
The road mishap happened at the Giri roundabout in Abuja. The officers were reportedly on their way to Lagos on election duty.
The number of officers of the agency involved could not be obtained at the time of filing this report.
A video shared by the NTA pictured passersby picking up papers suspected to be electoral materials scattered on the ground.

The electoral materials were being conveyed by the vehicle, as an eyewitness said some of the NSCDC personnel in the vehicle sustained ‘life-threatening injuries’.
The eyewitness said, “I don’t know whether it’s a tyre that burst but I saw the accident. The people are at the back, they sustained wounds. The other person sustained a head wound so I don’t know if he would be able to survive.
“Some of the senior officers followed them to Gwagwalada. That’s what happened.”
so far, no fatalities have been reported. The highly-anticipated Nigerian presidential and national assembly elections hold today.
