POLICE ADVISE NAWAKWI TO REPORT HERSELF TO THIER OFFICES
August 29, 2023
I wish to confirm that Ms. Edith Nawakwi was summoned to report to the Police last week but her Lawyer requested to reschedule to today, August 29, 2023 at 14:30 hours.
Today, Police received information that she was unwell and that the Lawyer has a bereavement.
We are surprised that the person reported to be very sick is sending messages that Police are looking for her on social media platforms.
We, therefore, advise that she reports herself to the Police.
And Police in Mansa have charged and arrested Leonard Chanda aged 39, a Major in the Zambia Air Force, for Attempts to Procure Commission of Criminal Acts contrary to section 392(1) chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia.
Brief facts of the matter are that on August 28, 2023, the suspect went to Luapula Police Division Headquarters where he met one the senior officers to authorize him to carry out illegal mining at Butute Mining situated in Milenge District even when he was not in possession of a mining licence.
The suspect was detained and later released on Police Bond to appear in court soon.
