ZICTA CORNERS ADMIN OF SCANDALOUS FACEBOOK PAGES
ZICTA corners Zed Hule admin
A joint team of Zambia Police Service and Zambia Information and Communications Authority officers has smoked out the elusive admin behind the scandalous Facebook pages: ZedHule, Ulindoshi, and Filapwa Official Zambia.
Elvis Chama, the 29-year-old online menace, was apprehended in Lusaka earlier today and is currently cooling his heels in police cells.
Chama’s notorious pages are infamous for defaming and extorting money from innocent victims.
Authorities are appealing to anyone who has fallen victim to Chama’s online bullying, harrasment and scams to lodge an official complaint with Lusaka Central Police.

And we dont need a cybercrime law that goes beyond sophisticated chaps like this man?
We need to serious protect ourselves not just in such situations where people take pictures of one in one home, hotel etc. But scammers and recklessness of financial institutions to protect consumers and citizens. A statutory deposit system like that held by commercial banks be a requirement to all financial institutions that operate on the mobile phone platform and one online. Yesterday we read of a retired banker (Ms Daka in Choma) losing her money from her account at IndoZambia.
One has to ask how secure are these platforms as a vehicle of development and financial penetration into parts of Zambia where development is lagging. ZICTA with the Central bank need to seriously consider legal protection of consumers if government intent for commercial actitivty is to rise.
