 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. Mohlaela had gone there to speak with his mother about ending the relationship because of alleged abuse. During the confrontation, Mokgehle pulled out a knife and ...

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SLAMS BORDER CLOSURE POLICY AS INEFFECTIVE.(PHOTO).

-


 

The National Assembly, through its joint committee on Industry, Trade, and Investment, has criticized Nigeria’s border closure policy, labeling it ineffective in curbing cross-border crimes such as banditry and smuggling.


During the 2025 budget defence session with the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment, lawmakers expressed frustration over the ongoing security and economic challenges linked to the porous nature of the country’s borders with Niger and Chad, as it says Nigeria might be fooling herself.


Chairman of the Senate Committee on Industry, Senator Francis Fadaunsi argued that the current border closure policy is counterproductive. He suggested that it might be more beneficial to open the borders officially rather than maintain the illusion of a closure that fails to prevent smuggling and insecurity.


“Border closure is hampering economic fortunes of the country because rather than curb smuggling, it encourages it’. For instance, with rice production, local producers only manage to meet 3 million tonnes of the 7 million tonnes required, leaving a significant shortfall filled by smuggled goods”


Hon. Fatima Talba representing Nangero/Potiskum Federal Constituency in Yobe State, reechoed similar sentiments, stating that in her experience, the borders appear open, given the unchecked movement of people and criminals. “We must stop deceiving ourselves about border closure”


According to her, “Going by free movement of people and even criminals across the borders, it is time for us, to stop fooling ourselves with border closure “.


Hon. Paul Kalejaiye (Ajeromi/Ifelodun Federal Constituency, Lagos State) questioned the consistency of the policy, asking whether the closure applied to all borders or was selectively enforced in certain regions.


In response to the concerns, the joint committee, chaired by Senator Suleiman Sadiq Umar (APC, Kwara North), urged the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, to engage with the Presidency to seek a comprehensive solution to the issues surrounding the border closure policy.


Dr. Oduwole, during her presentation, outlined the ministry’s budget for 2025, which includes N3.8 billion for capital expenditure, 4.65 billion naira for personnel costs, and 1.45 billion naira for overhead, with a projected revenue of 24 billion naira.


However, the committee identified errors in the submitted documents. The lawmakers raised concerns over a project initially budgeted at N50 million but later awarded for N59 million, resulting in an extra 9 million naira in the 2024 budget of the Ministry of Trade and Investment.


While defending the 2025 budget, the Minister of Trade and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole and her team attributed the discrepancy to a “typographical error.” The Committee, however, instructed the Minister to rectify the error before the budget document could be accepted.
