 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair. In sentencing, the court ordered that the couple be taken to the Plumtree Border Post for deportation to Zimbabwe.  Top Botswana lawyer Winnie Masitha who offered the couple free legal representation during the trial, confirmed the deportation to BTV News. Masitha believed that the matter should not be viewed only through the lens of crim...

Alleged $6bn Fraud: EFCC Amends Charges, Advances more Evidence against Agunloye


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has altered the seven-count charges against the former Minister of Power, Olu Agunloye and advanced additional evidence against him.


Agunloye is facing prosecution by the EFCC before Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the Federal Capital Territory,  (FCT) High Court, sitting in Apo, Abuja  on issues bordering on official corruption and fraudulent award of Mambilla 

Power Project contract to the tune of $6billion (Six Billion US Dollars).

 

At the last court proceedings, prosecution counsel, Abba Muhammad, SAN, drew the attention of the court to some 

amendments in the seven-count 

charges and additional proofs of evidence advanced against the defendant earlier filed before the court and urged the court to allow the defendant take his plea in the light of the amendments, while defence counsel, Adeola Adedipe, SAN objected to the admission of the amendments on the ground that the business of the day was for cross- examination of the second prosecution witness (PW2), Adewale Agunbiade.


The prosecution counsel in his response, established that it has the power to amend charges against any defendant at any stage of trial before judgment, citing Section 216(1) and (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA). While not objecting to this right of the prosecution, the defence argued that a formal leave of the court should be sought for the introduction of the amendments, citing Section 218(2) of the same ACJA.

After listening to both parties, Justice Onwuegbuzie held that a formal application for the amendment of the charges should be presented by the prosecution to which the defence counsel would respond on the next adjourned date of November 11, 2024.
