Three operatives from different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration ceremony of Governor Prof Chukwuma Soludo on Tuesday.
The incident occurred during the parade held at Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The affected officers include a male police operative, a male operative of the Directorate of State Services and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
The police operative was the first to collapse during the event. He was followed by the NSCDC operative who slumped toward the end of the ceremony and was later escorted to an ambulance after she declined to be moved on a stretcher.
A source said the police officer was later resuscitated but remained unstable and was subsequently taken by ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the security personnel was attributed to fatigue and the prolonged parade under harsh sunny weather.
