“These were veteran media men who covered the National Assembly for years and had institutional memories of people and events at the federal parliament.

“They will be greatly missed. My heart is with their families and the Press Corps at the moment of grief,” Speaker Abbas said.

The Speaker prayed for the repose of their souls and the fortitude to bear the loss by their respective families.

Similarly, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu expressed sadness over the sadden demise of Olaluyi, a photojournalist with the New Telegraph Newspapers.

Kalu, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Levinus Nwabughiogu, extended his condolences to Olaluyi’s family, the publishers of New Telegraph, the House of Representatives Press Corps (HoRPC) and the entire membership of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) where the deceased belonged to as a member.

The Deputy Speaker recalled that Olaluyi practised his career with utmost decency, displaying unassailable photographic skills, guided by the fine ethos and ethics of journalism profession.

He said Olaluyi, having covered the parliament for many years had acquired institutional memory while documenting the House proceedings pictorially.

The Deputy Speaker also commiserated with the Senate Press Corps over the death of Malam Mohammed Adamu, a reporter with Liberty Radio and Television, who passed on early hours of Wednesday.
