The incident happened at an event in the southern city of Port Harcourt, which is in the country’s Niger Delta oil-production heartland. Voters in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest democracy, will go to the polls on Saturday. The statement, which did not specify the number of people killed, said it occurred after the rally. Accidents sometimes occur at political rallies in Nigeria, which are often crowded. Last week, Buhari offered his condolences after supporters were killed in a stampede at a rally in the eastern state of Taraba.
