 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.

PENSIONERS BLOCK GOVT HOUSE, DEMAND FOR PAYMENT OF ENTITLEMENTS



Pensioners in Niger state yesterday barricaded entrance gate into Government House, chanting anti-APC administration songs and calling out Governor Abubarkar Sani Bello to pay their entitlements before vacating office.

Also, apparently to forestall possible breakdown of law and order, Niger state police command rolled out its Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), conspicuously being positioned at the entrance gate as Local Government Chairmen were being sworn-in.   

The pensioners in their numbers had positioned themselves at the entrance into the Government House, venue for the swearing-in of the chairmen scheduled for 10 am, but could not start as planned because of the activities of the pensioners.

Carrying placards with different anti-government inscriptions, the pensioners, some carrying mats and pillows formed human blockage around the government house gate also prevented people, including the chairmen and their supporters from going in or coming out.

While mostly the female pensioners chanted and danced, ‘Lolo, pay us our money before you go’, their male counterpart took positions at the entrance of the Government house gate and resisted people as they try to force their way in or out from the government facility,

Though not invited for the swearing-in, some journalists who were on hand during the combined lamentations and celebrations by the two groups had hectic time assessing government house as they manoeuvre their ways amidst the seeming helplessness of the police at the entrance gate.

Our correspondent reports that, the intervention of the Governorship candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Hon. Mohammed Umar Bago calmed the frayed nerves of the protesters from continuing their siege.

Unconfirmed sources said Bago had invited the leadership of the protesting pensioners to a dialogue and consequently dislodge them from continuing protest for payment of their pension and other retirement benefits.  

Meanwhile, the anti-riot/APC of the Niger state police command was conspicuously positioned at the exit side of government house gate in apparent move to forestall possible breakdown of law and order as the chairmen were being sworn-in.

Though Governor Bello eventually performed the swearing-in, our correspondent however reports that some chairmen and supporters missed out as they could not make it into the conference hall due to the grid-lock caused by the over an hour blockage by the pensioners.
