Niyi Ijalaye, the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Ogun State, reportedly slumped in Abuja on Monday evening.
Ijalaye allegedly collapsed shortly after attending a meeting at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission, a reliable source disclosed to our correspondent.
Following the report, Ijalaye appeared in good spirits throughout the meeting before returning to his hotel room at the Bon Octagon Hotel in the Federal Capital Territory, where he suddenly collapsed.
Ijalaye’s condition remained uncertain at the time of filing this report.
The meeting, chaired by INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, focused on the off-cycle elections in Edo and Ondo States.
A native of Ondo State, Ijalaye was appointed as the Ogun State REC in March 2022, following the transfer of his predecessor, Olusegun Agbaje, to Lagos State.
