A member of the presidential guard brigade caused a stir on Monday morning when she collapsed at the parade ground shortly before the commencement of the inauguration programme. Multiple sources told The PUNCH that they can recall seeing the young guard feeling uncomfortable while mounting guard before falling to the ground. We thought she had died before she was carried on a stretcher to one of those mobile clinics around. But after a while, she went back to the parade ground and vomited again. If there is any emergency on the parade ground, the FRSC or Guards brigade will do an evacuation because they don’t like seeing civilians going in and out there.”
