The Collation officer, Professor Muhammad Yushau for Kura LGA in Kano state has collapsed at the entrance of the INEC headquarters and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital.

His colleague from Garun Malam, Muhammad Shuaibu Abubakar who came in the same vehicle with him will be presenting the results on his behalf to be assisted by the Electoral Officer, Maryam Adamu Abdullahi of Kura LGA.
