…He chose to take care of me despite knowing I have another man —Woman

For nine months, a 27-year-old man of Lusaka’s Kanyama compound, Zambia, lived with excitement as he prepared to become a father.

Timothy Banda was convinced that his girlfriend, 22-year-old Tina Kabonde, was carrying his child and out of love, he supported her throughout the nine months of pregnancy.

Banda worked tirelessly to ensure his suppose baby had clothes, baby items and even gave Kabonde money to make sure she was comfortable throughout.

However, Banda did not know that the story he was told was far from the truth.

According to Real Times, just a month after the baby was born, Banda’s world came crashing down when he saw another man at Kabonde’s house, carrying groceries and baby supplies.

When Banda asked Kabonde who the man was, Kabonde and her family confessed that the baby Banda had been preparing for was not his.

Heartbroken and angry, Banda decided to take the matter to the Kanyama local court where he demanded that Kabonde and her family repay him all he spent on her.

“I do not want to argue with this family. They are heartless. All I want is for them to give me back the money I spent on the child,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kabonde told the court that she never told Banda the pregnancy was his but claimed he chose to help her out of his own will because he wanted to marry her.

“He knew I had another man. He is just upset because I refused to marry him,” she defended herself.

When the case was heard before the magistrate, Esther Mulomba, the court found that Kabonde had acted unfairly by accepting Banda’s help while knowing the child belonged to another man.

The court ordered Kabonde to compensate Banda for all the money he spent during her pregnancy.

The Nigeria Police Force has arrested a chef, John Cosmos Govi, over his alleged involvement in a burglary operation at a residence in Abuja, where luxury items and valuables worth about N150 million were reportedly stolen.

The arrest was announced on Monday, May 25, 2026, by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Anthony Placid, who said the suspect was apprehended by operatives of the Force Intelligence Department Intelligence Response Team (FID-IRT) after investigations into allegations of criminal conspiracy, housebreaking, theft, malicious damage and administering harmful substances.
