 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.

 ORTOM GAVE BENUE HIS BEST AS GOVERNOR - ABBA MORO 


2nd February, 2026   


Senate Minority Leader and Senator representing Benue South Senatorial District, Comrade Abba Patrick Moro, has described former Benue State Governor, Dr Samuel Ortom, as a consultative and inclusive leader who gave his best to the state during his time in office.


Moro said Ortom’s leadership style was defined by wide consultations and collective decision-making, noting that the former governor rarely took unilateral decisions while governing the state.


The senator made the remarks during a solidarity visit by Ortom’s former aides in Makurdi. Moro, who was out of the country on official assignment, was represented by a former General Manager of the Benue State Environmental Sanitation Authority, Rt. Hon. Solomon Onah.


According to Onah, the visit was a gesture of appreciation by those who served under Ortom between 2015 and 2023, including former commissioners, special advisers, heads of agencies and boards, as well as local government chairmen and other political appointees.


Moro likened the visit to the biblical story of the ten lepers healed by Jesus, stressing that Ortom’s former aides had returned to thank him for his leadership.


“Ortom did his best as governor. He is a unique leader who does not take unilateral decisions. He consults widely, even with market women. That is why he is loved by many,” Moro said.

He also urged the former governor to remain close to the people and continue to provide leadership beyond office.


The solidarity visit took place in Makurdi on Sunday, February 1, 2026
