ZAMBIA ARRESTS THREE UGANDAN SCAMMERS WHO CLAIM THEY CAN BRING BACK LOST LOVERS
THREE Ugandan expatriate scammers who have been collecting money from lonely and desperate love seekers promising to reconcile them with their lost lovers, have been arrested by the Zambia National Cyber Security Task
The criminal trio from Kampala was conveniently operating from Lusaka’s Matero Township, the country’s headquarters of all dubuous activities.
They were found with dozens of mobile phone simcards from various mobile phone companies.
It has been reported that that Stephen Kafeero, aged 32, Bashir Nsubug, aged 34, and William Simfuka 37, all Ugandans were arrested in a sting operation at the weekend.
Having marketed themselves through Facebook and WhatsApp as powerful witchdoctors with power to bring back lost lovers within 24 hours, the trio defrauded several desperate victims.
“One complainant was scammed out of K413,725.9 after being promised that the suspects could bring back lost lovers and heal any kind of disease through their charms,” one officer who was part of the operation told Kalemba.
The innovative but criminal trio also took liberty of calling various mobile phone users and with their Luganda-influenced accents claimed they were running different promotions but ended up stealing from people’s mobile wallets.
On being conered, the sheepish trio was painfully encouraged to use their witchcraft powers to escape the waterloo but instead begged and cried for mercy.
They are detained in police custody although it remains to be seen if the international jujumen will use some of their charms to bring back their lost freedom after appearing in the courts of law.

Ever since Frederick Chiluba decreed that Zambia was a Christian nation, all sorts of conmen around the world figured out that there should be lots of superstitious people here waiting to be conned out of their money. And after making so much money illegally, they go to a bureau de change and convert their kwacha into US dollars and leave the country. That is what Zambia is now. Nigerian conmen also found out from travel agencies the number of passenger arrivals from Zambia to seek miracles from TB Joshua when he was alive. They then started targeting the country because they realised that the supply of sitting ducks was limitless in Zambia.
