 Guinea-Bissau stops vaccine study funded by Trump administration Guinea-Bissau's foreign minister has said his government has stopped a study funded by the Trump administration aiming to evaluate side effects of the life-saving hepatitis B vaccine, including any links to autism. The West African country, one of the region's poorest, has high rates of hepatitis B, and the prospective study had drawn an outcry from scientists and international health bodies because only half the newborns in the trial would get the vaccine at birth. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus said it was not ethical. Guinea-Bissau last month suspended the trial pending an ethical review. Critics had said it was being used to test theories linking vaccines to autism, long promoted by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr but contradicted by scientific evidence. Foreign Minister Joao Bernardo Vieira said in an interview on Tuesday that the study had been closed, citing concer...

 FRSC Confirms Four Dead In Kaduna–Abuja Highway Crash


The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kaduna Sector Command, has confirmed that four people lost their lives in a fatal crash on the Kaduna–Abuja highway on Sunday evening.


Sector Commander, Corps Commander Iliyasu Tijjani, who disclosed this in a statement, said the accident occurred around 4:30 p.m. at Kakau, near Gonin Gora, on the outskirts of Kaduna metropolis.


According to him, the crash involved a gas-laden tanker and a Toyota Hilux vehicle, both heading toward Kaduna. Preliminary investigations revealed that the Hilux, which was reportedly speeding, rammed into the tanker from behind.


“The crash was caused by excessive speeding and dangerous overtaking,” Tijjani said.


He explained that five persons — four males and one female — were inside the Hilux at the time of the accident. 


“Sadly, the four male occupants were confirmed dead at St. Gerard Catholic Hospital, while the lone female passenger is receiving treatment at the FRSC Clinic, Tollgate, Kaduna,” he added.


The Sector Commander noted that the impact of the collision caused severe damage to the vehicle and temporarily disrupted traffic flow on the busy highway before emergency responders cleared the scene.


Tijjani cautioned motorists against speeding and reckless overtaking, stressing that most crashes along the Kaduna–Abuja highway are linked to impatience and disregard for traffic rules.


“Drivers must always observe speed limits, maintain safe following distances, and avoid dangerous manoeuvres,” he warned. “The Corps will continue to enforce traffic regulations to safeguard lives on our roads.”


He expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and reiterated the FRSC’s commitment, alongside other emergency agencies, to ensuring safer road use across Kaduna State.
