 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. Masitha believed that the matter should not be viewed only through the lens of crim...

 FCT Polls: Democracy under siege, Tinubu suffocating Nigeria – Atiku


Former Vice President and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has raised concern over the low voter turnout recorded in Saturday’s FCT Area Council elections. In a statement reacting to the exercise, posted by his media aide Paul Ibe on X, the former Vice President described the turnout — which averaged below 20 per cent, with Abuja Municipal Area Council recording a figure of 7.8 per cent — as a damning verdict on the health of Nigeria’s democracy under the current administration.


Atiku said the abysmal civic participation in the nation’s capital, the symbolic heartbeat of the federation, is not accidental. He argued that it is the predictable outcome of a political environment, which he claimed has been poisoned by intolerance, intimidation and the systematic weakening of opposition voices. The former presidential candidate alleged that the administration of President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress government have pursued policies that shrink democratic space, harass dissenters, and foster a climate where alternative political viewpoints are treated as threats rather than contributions to national development.


“When citizens lose faith that their votes matter, democracy begins to die,” Atiku stated. “What we are witnessing is not mere voter apathy. It is a direct consequence of an administration that governs with a chokehold on pluralism. Democracy in Nigeria is being suffocated — slowly, steadily, and dangerously.” He warned that the steady erosion of participatory governance, if left unchecked, could inflict irreversible damage on the democratic fabric painstakingly built over decades. 


“A democracy without vibrant opposition, without free political competition, and without public confidence is democracy in name only. If this chokehold is not released, history will record this era as the period when our hard-won freedoms were traded for fear and conformity,” he added.
