The zone covers Edo, Delta and Anambra States.
The Zonal Commander, Yakubu Attah, told Newsmen in Benin that of the 837 casualties, 104 deaths were recorded, while 733 others either sustained serious or minor injuries.
He said 532 males, 210 females and 79 children were affected, and attributed most of the accidents to over-speeding and loss of control.

He warned motorists to ensure that their vehicles were in good condition before embarking on any journey to avoid any break-down on the highway.
