Man Collapses At Lagos Polling Unit

An old man, whose name was given as Mohammed Isiaka, collapsed during Saturday elections at a polling unit in the Abule Egba area of Lagos State.

Isiaka had gone through the accreditation process but collapsed shortly after collecting his ballot paper in readiness to cast his vote.

He was, however, resuscitated by a doctor also waiting to vote, alongside other voters at the unit.

Our correspondent gathered that although the electoral officers did not arrive at the unit until around 11 am, accreditation was eventually conducted using the card reader.

By the time voting started, however, there was a lot of heat, which, some voters noted, was likely to have affected Isiaka.
