 A Limpopo man who stabbed his girlfriend to death in front of his own mother will spend the next 20 years in prison. The Polokwane High Court sentenced 48 year old Nathaniel Molatelo Mokgehle from Sekonye Village in the Botlokwa policing area for the murder of his girlfriend, 41 year old Mokgadi Julia Mohlaela. The court heard he chased her out of the house and continued stabbing her until she collapsed and died. Mokgehle also received six months for malicious damage to property. The sentence will run at the same time as the 20 year murder sentence. Evidence presented in court showed the victim had previously opened a malicious damage to property case against him. He was still attending court for that case when the murder happened. The attack happened on 08 June 2025 around 16:00 at his mother’s home in Sekonye Village.

LASODA CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL ALBINISM AWARENESS DAY


The General Manager, Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA), Mr. Oluwadamilare Dairo, has urged people with Albinism to take all necessary steps towards ensuring their skins are adequately protected to avoid the many health problems peculiar to their skin type.

He gave the advice in his address at the event organised by the Office, in collaboration with the Lagos Albinism Awareness Society, to mark the International Albinism Awareness Day, held at the Adeyemi-Bero Auditorium Alausa, Secretariat, Ikeja, over the weekend.

He explained that the event tagged: “United in Making our Voices Heard”, which commenced with an advocacy walk, is aimed at dispelling the many erroneous beliefs and myths attached to the condition that has resulted in the discrimination against people with Albinism.

Dairo stated that the group of people, apart from the health issues that could arise from their skin condition, also face multiple forms of discrimination and sometimes attacks due to the superstitious beliefs that have continued to foster their marginalisation and social exclusion in the society.

His words: “We must educate the people on the need to let go of archaic beliefs that have continued to harm this group of people in the society. As we all know, the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has, from inception, focused on people-oriented policies and programmes where no one is left behind”.

“This gathering is an avenue to again sensitise the people on the need to join the government towards ensuring that the rights of everyone are protected by ending the superstitious beliefs. I, therefore, urge the people with albinism to continue to live their best life while maintaining good skin care practices”, he added.

The Guest Lecturers at the event, Prof. Olayinka Olasode of the Department of Dermatology and Venerology, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) and Dr. Folakemi Cole-Adeife, a Consultant Physician and Dermatologist at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), stressed the importance of regular check-up for people with albinism and the use of sunscreens as well as sunglasses to protect themselves from the sun.

According to the guest lecturers, Albinism is a result of a lack of melanin in the skin, hair and eyes, leaving vital parts of the body vulnerable to all sorts of skin diseases including skin cancer and loss of vision. 

Advising sufferers to report all cases of lesions on the skin as early detection helps, the consensus was that it is extremely important that albinos avoid the sun as much as possible but cover themselves up properly if they must go out in the sun.

Other dignitaries present at the event include the SSA on Persons Living with Disability, Mrs. Adenike Oyetunde Lawal; the President, Lagos Albinism Awareness Society, Mrs. Josephine Omolola, and the Director of Medical Aids, LASODA, Mrs. Eniola Abokhai, among others.
