 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.

DSS Clears Kaduna Herder, Awards ₦3 Million as Internal Review Expands Justice for Wrongfully Detained Nigerians


The Director-General of the Department of State Services, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, has ordered the release of a Kaduna-based herder, Nura Idris, after an internal investigation cleared him of alleged links to Boko Haram terrorists.


A statement by the DSS notes that Idris, a farmer and livestock rearer from Soba Local Government Area of Kaduna State, was arrested in June 2024 by another security agency in Suleja, Niger State, and later transferred to DSS custody over suspected terrorist links.


Following a comprehensive review of his case, the DSS found no 

evidence connecting him to terrorism. The Director-General immediately ordered his release and approved a ₦3 million compensation package to support his reintegration, with additional assistance promised to help him rebuild his livelihood.

Speaking after his release, Idris expressed gratitude to the DSS, describing the gesture as life-changing and commending the humane treatment he received while in custody.


The release forms part of the DSS's ongoing review of inherited and prolonged detention cases aimed at ensuring innocent individuals are not unjustly held. 


Meanwhile, the Service has reviewed more than 30 cases, paying over ₦300 million in compensation to wrongfully detained persons.


The exercise has also led to the release and compensation of several individuals previously accused of links to IPOB and other terrorist groups after investigations established their innocence.


The DSS says the initiative reflects its commitment to balancing national security with the protection of citizens' rights, while strengthening public confidence in the nation's security institutions.
