Vehicles conveying Benue APC supporters to the ongoing North Central Mega Rally in Lafia were involved in a road crash, with many reported severely injured.
The incident, reported on Saturday, October 10, 2026, involved vehicles transporting All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters from Benue State to the North Central Mega Rally taking place in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa State.
The rally, described by party leaders as the “mother of all rallies,” aims to demonstrate regional support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in the 2027 general elections.
It is hosted by Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule and headlined by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, drawing supporters, party leaders, women and youth groups from Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau and the FCT.
According to posts circulating on X (formerly Twitter), including one by @attamakuza that shared multiple photographs from the scene, several vehicles were involved and many occupants sustained severe injuries.
Details on the exact number of vehicles, the precise location of the crash (believed to be en route to Lafia), the cause, or confirmed casualty figures (deaths or hospital admissions) remain limited as official statements from the Federal Road Safety Corps, police or party officials have not yet been widely reported.
