According to Vanguard, the three elderly persons collapsed at about 12.45 p.m. while waiting for the arrival of the audit team to commence the exercise.

The newspaper stated that it took the intervention of the health workers of the State Ambulance Service to revive and stabilise the victims.

Meanwhile, others, who could not withstand the rigours of standing for long, were seen lying down on the floor while others sat under trees located outside the complex.

When contacted, the State Secretary of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP), Dele Aina, said he had been briefed on the incident, and he is on the way to assess the situation to ensure that everyone is adequately taken care of.

Meanwhile, the NUP had previously urged the state government to decentralise the exercise to make it easier for its members to access.
