On Saturday morning, a bus carrying several members of the [All Progressives Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Progressives_Congress_(Nigeria)) from [Benue State](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benue_State) collided head‑on with another vehicle near [Lafia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafia), the capital of [Nasarawa State](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasarawa_State), leaving a number of delegates seriously injured.
**What were the circumstances of the crash?**
The accident happened a few kilometres away from the site where the party’s rally was scheduled to take place. Emergency services rushed the injured politicians to hospitals in Lafia for treatment, although the exact count of those hurt had not been confirmed at the time of reporting.
**Who confirmed the incident?**
Dan‑Morgan Ihomun, the State Publicity Secretary of the Austin Agada faction of the APC, verified the event, stating, “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.”
**Has a similar accident occurred before?**
A comparable tragedy struck APC delegates from Benue earlier in the year. On 25 March 2026, three representatives from Ogbadibo Local Government Area lost their lives and about ten others were injured when their bus, traveling from Makurdi to Lafia for the APC North‑Central Zonal Congress, was involved in a crash.
The recent incident underscores ongoing concerns about the safety of political delegations traveling for party activities in the region.
