His name pops up again in the mainstream media this year for something far worse.

What began as one family searching for their two missing children ended up with the discovery of mass graves, hundreds of bodies exhumed, and 600 more people missing, now dubbed the Shakahola Massacre, not only in the country but across the globe.

Together with my Nation colleagues, our assignment was to do a keen follow-up on a story we had started about the missing two children.
