Burundian First Lady Denise Nkurunziza’s newest addition was clasped firmly in her arms as she arrived in church on Sunday.

The baby – understood to be about four to five months old – apparently sat through the service quietly, treated to a bottle by one of Burundi’s most important women.

Presidential spokesman Alain Nzeyimana confirmed to the BBC that Mrs Nkurunziza, who has five biological children already, has adopted the baby.

The president’s official website announced earlier this year she had also adopted a toddler.
