On October 29, 2026, an auto accident occurred at Gidan Magoro on the Minna–Bida Road in Niger State, resulting in the tragic loss of five lives. Initial media reports erroneously suggested that the convoy of Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago was involved in the incident, prompting the Niger State government to issue a clarification denying any connection between the governor's convoy and the accident.
