Rae Hamoonga POLICE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER
When Mumbi Phiri was detained in the Chilekwa conviction case of murder, there was a video in which she claimed she was there when the shooting happened. Now, it appears that she was there or involved in this recent case. What a pity.
This woman is a rabble-rouser to borrow FTJ’s words MHSRIEP. She has no limits and shame. A while ago she engineered the shooting of Lovemore Banda in Kaoma, in no time she is at it again. Tame and cage that woman before it is too late, she is a cancer to the nation.
So why not arrest the said Peter since the complainant mentioned him? Shame on our police conduct mwee
I thought so. Cows will praise the nonsensical write up of boggus accusations thrown at Mumbi by their fellow cows. Anyways only cows can understand the cow language. What a shame!
Only Lucifers can utter such…!!
2.8 Million lies for the 2.8, are you the judge or courts of law? NO!
Were you there? NO!
Are you God that you are Omipresent? NO!
If the answer to all these questions are NO! How do you know that these are lies? Let the due process take place, so that the courts decided from the evidence. Mumbi Phiri with her loud mouth brings trouble to herself. She is not law enforcement to start accosting other people or be close to any such situation. She has just left prison after a length trial where someone else was convicted. Why allow yourself to be found in another situations that will draw you into the same quadmire? She is to blame for all that she finds herself cause she seeks out trouble, now trouble has found her.
This is the same as charging someone who commits a traffic offence with treason.
Oh, Zambia Police! Zambia Police remains the clearest and most present danger to security and national unity.
This is the only institution that has continued to operate as a colonial service. Few Inspector Genrals have tried modernise the service but it remains trapped in a persistent vegitative state and instead of serving, it is forcing.
Mr. Chilambikwa reported that his Infinix cellphone, valued at K3, 800.00, and cash amounting to K20,000.00, were stolen by a male suspect identified only as Peter, who was allegedly in the company of Mumbi Phiri.
How was this done? In the ensuing altercation, the suspect, Peter, used a Taser gun on the complainant, causing him to fall to the ground. While he was incapacitated, the suspect grabbed his cellphone and cash.
What type of theft is this? Tell us since you are a specialist in this are.
Does Zambia have RICO laws? The person who stole is named but why Mumbi Phiri?
This crime raises very serious questions that beg answers.
1. Is this Peter allowed to have a taser gun? 2.Where did he find this taser gun.
3. In what capacity did he use the taser gun to an innocent un armed individual?
4.How many other taser guns are out there in wrong hands?
The police must investigate this case thoroughly and disarm these criminals.
That’s how Mumbi Phiri comes in to be witness to the one who had a Teser gun. Mumbi Phiri is an accomplished politician who, before this incidence was involved in a serious criminal case. She is a serious suspect not to be off the hook. Boma is Boma, peace and civility is needed.
