 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.

 Shehu Sani: El-Rufai never fought for democracy, governed with arrogance


Shehu Sani, former senator representing Kaduna central, says Nasir el-Rufai, ex-governor of the state, never fought for democracy and ruled with arrogance.

Speaking on TVC’s Politics Tonight on Monday, Sani said el-Rufai has been “angry and frustrated” since leaving office in 2023.

“For people like Nasir, when they found themselves in the position of office, they don’t know what democracy is all about because they didn’t fight for it,” Sani said.

“He was an unknown figure before 1999 and became DG of BPE. He has never been in a cell for one day. He has never been in prison.

“For me, as you see me here, I have been through the rough times of my life. I have been through many prisons. I have been through many police stations.

“I have served so many years. I wore prison uniform. I wore leg chain. I wore handcuffs as a political prisoner fighting for this democracy that is 25 years old.”

Sani said politicians like el-Rufai, “who benefitted from the establishment without personal sacrifice”, govern with arrogance once in power.

The former lawmaker described the ex-minister as “angry and frustrated after failing to maintain political control” in Kaduna and at the federal level.

“He had this high sense of entitlement and expectation that he’s going to have a governor he can manipulate in Kaduna state. That failed,” he said.

“He thought he was going to be in the cycle of power at the federal level. That also failed. And now he has returned back to mischief.”

On Sunday, el-Rufai alleged that suspected thugs who invaded the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition meeting in Kaduna were government-sponsored.
