Edo State Government has dissolved the media crew attached to the office of the Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.
A statement by the Commissioner for Communication and Orientation in the state, Chris Nehikhare, said the decision of the government followed an incident at the Sir Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub in Benin City, the state capital, on Monday where the deputy governor’s media crew tried to force their way into the hall where Governor Godwin Obaseki and other invited dignitaries were seated to mark the 60th anniversary of Midwest Referendum.
“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,” the statement partly read,” the statement stated.
