POLICE CLARIFY FALSE SOCIAL MEDIA CLAIMS OVER MTENDERE INCIDENT
The Zambia Police Service has clarified false information circulating on social media alleging that police officers shot and killed several people in Kalingalinga and Mtendere compounds.
Police Spokesperson Godfrey Chilabi stated that these claims are false and do not accurately represent what occurred.

He observed that during a crowd control and management operation, police officers discharged tear smoke canisters to disperse a crowd.
Chilabi noted that a pellet from one of the canisters inadvertently struck the leg of a girl from Mtendere Compound, who was at some distance from the operational area.
He advanced that the girl was rushed to Mtendere Clinic for treatment and was later discharged after receiving medical attention.
Chilabi said that police have since opened investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
He affirmed that the public should rely on official sources for accurate information
Chilabi emphasised that the Zambia Police Service remains committed to maintaining public safety and order.
He further stated that any updates on the investigation will be communicated in due course.
Chilabi urged members of the public to refrain from spreading unverified information on social media.
He assured the community that the police are handling the matter with the seriousness it deserves.
