 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.

 Immigration Raises Alarm Over Growing Influx of Irregular Migrants into Nigeria


The Controller of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Edo State Command, Martins Moye, has raised concerns over the increasing number of irregular migrants entering Nigeria.


Speaking at the 2024 NIS awareness campaign against irregular migration in Benin City, Edo State, with the theme “Say No to Migrant Smuggling. If You Must Migrate, Migrate Safely, Orderly, and Regularly,” Moye stressed the urgency of addressing this issue as the numbers of irregular migrants continue to rise.


The three-day sensitization program took NIS officers to various locations, including the palace of the Enogie (Duke) of Eyaen, local markets, motor parks, and key streets. Moye emphasized the need for increased public awareness to tackle the growing problem of irregular migration.


Assistant Controller of Immigration, David Amanahu, who also facilitated the event, noted Edo State's historical significance in irregular migration. However, he highlighted that recent efforts by the Edo State Command have led to improvements, with the state no longer holding the top spot in the national ranking for irregular migration.


“The good news is that Edo State is no longer ranked number one in irregular migration. This is thanks to the hard work of the team in Edo who have worked relentlessly to improve the situation,” Amanahu said.


Delivering a message from the Controller-General of Immigration, Kemi Nandap, Amanahu emphasized the NIS’s renewed focus on border management and migration-related issues. 


Deputy Superintendent of Immigration, Woshak Danladi, warned of the grave risks posed by irregular migration, including the potential loss of freedom and even life. “Irregular migration can lead to organ harvesting, human rights abuses, and numerous other dangers,” he said, urging NIS officers to educate the public about these risks.
