 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.

 Prof Wole Soyinka suddenly became deaf, dumb under Tinubu – Fr Kelvin Ugwu


Catholic missionary priest working in Gambia, Rev Fr Kelvin Ugwu, has criticised Nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka over what he described as the writer’s silence on the hardship facing Nigerians under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.


In a Facebook post titled ‘Prof Soyinka then vs Prof Soyinka now’, on Saturday, the priest compared Soyinka’s past activism under previous administrations to his perceived quietness in recent times.


Ugwu recalled that during the administrations of former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, Soyinka was outspoken, describing him as a “movement” and “social crusader” who openly challenged government excesses.


He noted, however, that Soyinka’s criticism became less vocal during late President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure and has now, according to him, completely faded under Tinubu’s government.


“Then came Tinubu, a man with no clear identity and whose academic records are in question. In just two years in office, he has plunged Nigeria into deeper debt and Nigerians into multidimensional poverty,” Ugwu wrote.


He lamented that Soyinka, once a prominent voice for the masses, had “suddenly become deaf and dumb” under Tinubu’s administration, questioning what may have caused the change.
