 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.

 PETROAN Urges President Tinubu to Address Delays in Port Harcourt, Warri, Kaduna Refinery Rehabilitation


The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene in the ongoing delays in the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna refineries. The call was made in a statement issued on Monday by PETROAN’s spokesperson, Joseph Obele, on behalf of National President Billy Gillis-Harry.


PETROAN expressed concern over the prolonged delays in completing the rehabilitation of the 210,000 barrels-per-day Port Harcourt Refinery, as well as the Warri and Kaduna refineries. The association highlighted that these delays have negatively affected petrol price stability and Nigeria’s economy, exacerbating fuel scarcity challenges.


The group demanded that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) provide a clear and realistic timeline for the completion of the refinery projects, particularly the second phase of the Port Harcourt Refinery rehabilitation. According to PETROAN, the full operation of these refineries would reduce logistics and transportation costs for petroleum products from Lagos to System 2E, a region covering approximately 13 states.


“Nigerians and stakeholders deserve clarity on when these refineries will commence operations,” Gillis-Harry stated. “We call on the relevant authorities to ensure NNPCL adheres to the contract timeline and maintains transparent communication with stakeholders on the project’s progress.”


The statement comes amid lingering controversies surrounding the production capacity of the revamped refineries. In April, President Tinubu sacked the former Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL, Mele Kyari, along with other board members, prompting calls for a probe into alleged mismanagement of funds under Kyari’s leadership. The move has sparked mixed reactions across the country.


PETROAN emphasized the urgency of resolving these delays to stabilize fuel supply and alleviate economic pressures on Nigerians.
