 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.

 Former Governor Urges Tinubu to Settle ₦45bn Debt Owed to MKO Abiola’s Family


Former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has called on President Bola Tinubu to pay the ₦45 billion debt owed by the Nigerian government to the family of the late Chief MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the annulled June 12, 1993, presidential election.


Speaking at the public presentation of his book, Being True To Myself, in Abuja on Tuesday, Lamido described the debt as a critical step to closing the chapter on the June 12 saga. Addressing the Minister of Information, who represented President Tinubu, Lamido said, “Please tell him to pay Abiola’s family the ₦45 billion. When this money is paid, the chapter of June 12 will be closed.”


Lamido cited former President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, who reportedly confirmed Abiola’s election victory and disclosed the ₦45 billion debt. “Abiola is double punished. He was not given the presidency, and he is being owed,” Lamido stated.


The event also saw Lamido express gratitude to key figures, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, whom he described as his “Boss, Guide, Leader, and Inspiration” for his presence and contribution to the book’s foreword. He also thanked General Abdulsalami Abubakar for his service, the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, for promoting religious harmony, and Dr. Iyorchia Ayu for reviewing the book.


Lamido commended the editorial and organizing teams for their efforts and the media for generating nationwide interest in his book. He concluded by thanking Allah for sparing the lives of those present to witness the occasion.
