Two persons were, yesterday, reported dead, following an accident that occurred along Muritala Muhammed Way by Ikpoba River, Ikpoba Okha Local Council of Edo State. The Guardian gathered that the incident happened on Sunday night, when the vehicle heading towards Ramat Park, from the Ring Road axis, lost control on top speed and rammed into a pavement by Ikpoba River. It was learnt that the vehicle after hitting the pavement skidded off the road and plunged into the river. It was further gathered that the deceased were brought out of the river by divers contacted for the operation. The accident, however, caused gridlock on the road, as passengers were left stranded for hours while the officers and men of the Edo State Road Safety Corps battled to bring the traffic situation under control. When contacted, the Public Education Officer of Edo State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Orevia Ukoh, said the accident happened on Sunday night. She said the driver of the vehicle possibly was at a high speed and could not control the vehicle. Ukoh said because the incident happened at night, the occupants were already drowned, before help could come their way. “It is obvious that the man was on a high speed because other road users were not there that night, so he has the whole road to himself,” she said. 3 mins ago Nigeria will be saving huge sums in foreign exchange as Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has opted to train its fresh set of technicians and allied oil and gas staff in specialised fields at the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, Delta State, instead of training them abroad. 35 mins ago The Rivers State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said its personnel would conduct a two-day inspection of driver’s licence to stem reckless driving. 41 mins ago There was pandemonium, yesterday, in Jos Central Business District, otherwise called Terminus, when a stray police bullet hit a trader, during a clash between commercial motorcyclists and law enforcement agents. 55 mins ago Two persons were, yesterday, reported dead, following an accident that occurred along Muritala Muhammed Way by Ikpoba River, Ikpoba Okha Local Council of Edo State. 1 hour ago Chairman, Nigerian Breweries and former Minister of Industry, Chief Kola Jamodu, was at the weekend decorated as the Asiwaju of Ere Kingdom, Kogi State.The ceremony, which held at the palace of the Elere of Ere, Oba Titus Makanjuola, at Odo-Ere…
