The Edo State Government has disbanded the media crew attached to the Office of the Deputy Governor, with a directive to the Deputy Governor to henceforth request the Ministry of Communication and Orientation for media coverage of activities of his office.
Naija News reports that this was made known in a statement on Monday by the Commissioner of Information, Chris Osa Nehikhare.
This directive followed the ugly and unfortunate incident that happened during the colloquium held to mark the 60th anniversary of Midwest Referendum held at the Sir Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub and Soundstage, where some journalists, who claimed to be the media crew of the Deputy Governor, attempted to force their way into the hall where the governor and other invited dignitaries were already seated.
This act was contrary to the accreditation protocol that had been established for media coverage of the event.
The orchestrated and stage-managed walkout and disruption is highly regrettable.

<h2>The Federal Roads Safety Corps (<a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/frsc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FRSC</a>) has reported that no fewer than four individuals lost their lives in a recent lone accident on the Sagamu-Ore-Benin expressway.</h2>
<p>During an interaction with journalists in Abeokuta on Friday, the corps Public Education Officer in Ogun State, <strong>Florence Okpe,</strong> revealed that the incident occurred at the Ijebu-Ode axis of the highway, resulting in the fatalities of all the vehicle's occupants.</p>
<p>According to her, the accident involved a Toyota Camry car with the registration number BDG 184 FY.</p>
<p>The driver of the vehicle, she noted, was travelling at high speed, leading to a loss of control and ending in a swamp.</p>
<p>The victims of the crash were identified as three adult males and one adult female, <strong>Naija News</strong> reports.</p>
<p><em>“The suspected cause of the lone crash was excessive speed which led to loss of control. The vehicle veered off the road and somersaulted into a swamp.</em></p>
<p><em>“The corpses of the deceased were taken to the State General Hospital morgue in Ijebu-Ode,”</em> Channels Television quoted Okpe saying.</p>
<p>Okpe mentioned that the sector commander, Anthony Uga, has recommended that drivers embarking on long journeys should take a 15-minute break after every four hours of driving to prevent fatigue.</p>
<p>Additionally, it is advised to adhere to the prescribed speed limit while driving.</p>
