“Trump… Please bring my son back to me. I am begging you for mercy.” And what Trump did when he heard those words… may bring tears to your eyes.

Her name was Malphine. She was 95 years old. A mother who had spent years waiting. Hoping. Praying. And one day… she finally got the chance to meet Trump. And stood before him. With all the strength she had left. And spoke the only words in her heart. Please. Bring my son home.

And Trump looked at this 95-year-old mother. Held her hands. And gave her a promise. I will bring your son home.

And Malphine held on to that promise. The way only a mother of 95 can hold on to something. When hope is all she has left.

Days went by. Weeks went by. And then one morning… the news finally arrived. Her son Marc was coming home. After years away. After years inside a foreign prison. After years of a mother waking up every single day, wondering whether she would ever get to hold her child again.

He stepped off that plane. And returned home. And when Marc’s feet finally touched American soil… Trump was there. In person. To welcome him. To embrace him. To look him in the eyes and say… welcome home. America has not forgotten you.

And in that single embrace…

Trump showed the world something that no speech and no rally could ever truly express: That America cares about its people. Wholeheartedly. Unconditionally. And never gives up fighting for them.

And today… I sat thinking about that story. And remembered every harsh word I had ever spoken about this man. Every judgment. Every doubt. Every moment I chose to look away. And I felt something I can hardly describe. Deep shame.

Because Malphine trusted Trump at 95 years old. With all the hope she had left. And he helped bring her son home.

Today… this is the side of Trump that so many people may never take the time to see.

Not the Trump in the headlines. Not the Trump on the rally stage. Just a man. Who listened to a 95-year-old mother pleading for her son. Worked to help answer her prayers. And personally showed up to welcome him home.

If this story touched your heart today… let God and every American reading this feel your .

And tell me honestly, in your own words — after reading this… can you still speak badly about President Trump? Because I truly find it difficult to do so. Not anymore. Not after hearing this story.

Dehydration was cause of the death of the detained miners, the panel constituted to investigate the deaths of alleged illegal miners in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Niger State Command, has stated.

The chairman of the committee, Jonathan Kure, while presenting the report to the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in Abuja on Tuesday, , said the miners suffered acute respiratory failure.

He also corrected the earlier reports that 37 miners died in custódy, saying 33 miners were confirmed dead.

He said the miners collapsed after calling for water and were ignored by the personnel of the NSCDC.

He added that the detention room was overcrowded and poorly ventilated.

He said the miners were illegally arrested and detained, stressing that they were all detained beyond the legally allowed period.

Part of the panel’s report called for a total reform of the NSCDC as well as solicited compensation for the victims.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has transmitted a bill to the Senate seeking to empower the Federal Government to enter into agreements with foreign countries for the transfer of convicted Nigerians to serve their sentences at home.

The proposed legislation seeks to amend the Transfer of Convicted Offenders Enactment and Enforcement Act, 2004, to establish a legal framework for transferring convicted offenders between Nigeria and other countries under mutual agreements.

The bill was conveyed in a letter read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary on Tuesday.

In the letter, Tinubu said the amendment would empower Nigeria to negotiate agreements with foreign governments for the transfer of convicted offenders to Nigeria, while also enabling Nigeria to honour similar requests from other governments subject to terms of relevant agreements.

According to the President, the Transfer of Convicted Offenders Enactment and Enforcement Amendment Bill, 2026, would empower the President to extend its application to countries with which Nigeria has entered into such agreements through an order published in the Federal Gazette.

He explained that the provision would facilitate implementation of prisoner-transfer agreements with countries outside the Commonwealth.

After reading the letter, Akpabio referred the bill to the Senate Committee on Rules and Business for further legislative consideration.

The move comes amid cases of Nigerians convicted and imprisoned abroad, including former public officials.

Former Delta State Governor James Ibori was sentenced to 13 years in the United Kingdom in 2012 after pleading guilty to money laundering offences and was released in 2016. Former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu was sentenced to nine years and eight months in the UK in 2023 for organ-trafficking conspiracy.

Similarly, Abidemi Rufai, a former aide to Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, was sentenced to five years in the United States in 2022 for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Nigeria and the United Kingdom already have a prisoner-transfer arrangement allowing eligible prisoners to serve sentences in home countries subject to conditions and consent of both governments.

The proposed amendment seeks to provide framework for similar arrangements with countries outside the Commonwealth. However, it would not automatically guarantee transfer of every Nigerian convicted abroad, as any transfer would depend on relevant agreement, eligibility conditions and consent of countries involved.
