The Copperbelt province Police Command says the United Party for National Development did not make a formal complaint to the Police over the attack by suspected PF cadres on UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema’s entourage to necessitate the opening of a docket.

Copperbelt Police Commissioner Joyce Kasosa has since described as unfortunate media reports suggesting that a docket that was opened against the perpetrators of the violence in Ndola over the weekend has gone missing at Ndola Central Police Station.

Ms Kasosa has told QFM News in a telephone interview that the UPND did not register any complaint at any Police station.

She says reports suggesting that a docket in relation to the weekend violence in Ndola has gone missing are therefore false as no such docket was opened.

Ms Kasosa says her office has only received complaints of assault and malicious damage to property.

And Alliance for Better Zambia (ABZ) President Father Frank Bwalya has become the latest victim of an attack by suspected Patriotic Front cadres in Ndola.

Fr Bwalya has told QFM News from Ndola that he was this afternoon roughed up by known PF cadres in Ndola’s Kawama compound.

Father Bwalya says he has since reported the incident which resulted in buttons on his shirt being torn to Chifubu Police station.

He explains that he was in Kawama compound to visit one of his members who is not well and that it was while at the same house when two suspected cadres arrived and stated beating people who had accompanied him and was also roughed up during the same fracas.

UPND leader Hakainde’s entourage was attacked on Saturday by suspected PF cadres while he was appearing on a radio program on Sun FM.

  1. ZWD reports that Fr. Bwalya has a cut on his hand. PF thugs were carrying panga and tried to hit Fr. Bwalya on his neck. what is the truth?

    • Kasosa is one useless police officer. I urge people of CB to protest against her so that she can be demoted forth with. She is being paid for doing nothing.

    • Kasosa ni wanyele bad. She likes bonking rich kaponyas for money. Apparently she is bonking one of her junior officers. She is a disgrace to the women professionals. Its such people who instigate stereo typing against women.

    • No. They did not make any complaint and they are not. They said it. Why? Because it would be a meaningless effort.

      How many culprits have been brought to book over:
      1. Fr Bwalya hounding in Kasama?
      2. The several deaths of cadres by fellow cadres in your panga family
      3. The battering of worshippers at BIGOCA
      4. Uncountable acts of open violence by the panga family
      5. HH’s nearly lynching in Kasama enroute to Chitimukulu’s palace last year
      6. the list is endless

  2. Shame what reporting your men were there seeing people being but they did nothing. You are a big shame to the police service. May you one of the several concubines of kamimba

  3. so sobelenge mayo, so sobelenge mayo ngoletalika ulehima by air. kabili ubikepo nefinkasa uponogwe. The song went. For those born in the MMD era. This was the famous vigelante song. Anyone who dared Kaunda his henchmen would visit him/her rough them up and beaten without recourse. it was bad ladies & gentlemen nobody would like those days to resurface. Alas, with Kaunda as the special adviser we are in for a treat.

  4. Shut the eff up bee-itch! The thuggery and malicious intent are EXACTLY what your effing POA covers, your damn cops were there and spectacled… U DON’T NEED A EFFING COMPLAINT….your days are coming, muzachiona you feacal bone-heads !!
    Pity really – Chris Tembo, Zuze, Luchembe, Solo would have LONG STOPPED this nonsense! But still, ultimately Morsi won hugely and when the egyptian PEOPLE realised their MISTAKE THEY TOOK THE BULL BY THE HORNS, they will have their new constitution, they will have anew president and thereby CORRECT THEIR GROSS ERROR ! Zambia wake-up, no one will do it for you !

  5. We are in trouble MANINGI, a police officer who doesn’t get it that a report to police on assault and property destruction is not official complaint. This confirms that police in Zambia is an extension of PF government.

    • If i were you i would be very worried of civil strife,you will only be sensible when your dad or your mama’s ass shall be gang fu*ckked and sliced openonly then you will know you dont need to promote violence to plitick

  6. This is the problem when you get jobs based on relations, one tends to loss the ability to call professional shots. Chances are that you uncle called and asked why are you being supportive of the opposition, therefore, the following morning Kasosa, you have to sosa differently to be on the same side of the officer who hired you. PF this tribal inclination in appointment and not based on professionalism is destroying our country.

  7. Joyce Kasosa, sometimes, it is wise to keep quiet than expose your ignorance and incompetence to the public. What you have effectively done is erode our confidence in the police further.

  8. Lilayi police training school/college must be very ashamed of its products, especially the ones in senior positions.

  9. So if the Police see a crime been committed they won’t do anything unless the victim files a complaint! Only in Sata’s Zambia. No wonder Sata’s panga and gun wielding militia are having free reign in our country because the police can do nothing if no one files a complaint.

  10. Another id1ot with a head full of crap! What a load of bullsh1t! Your fellow PF cadres in police uniform were also there and stood by just watching. It hurts me that you can’t protect me when i pay your salary, for just sitting around making stupid statements.

  11. Woman Policing……..You are a bunch of Cops – you see a robber robing the bank, you don’t move to arrest the robber instead you go to the Police Station to wait for an official complaint from the bank manager???!!! Kikikikikikikiiiii………..YABA!

  12. If Sata’s police must wait for complaints from people before they can arrest people disturbing peace and attacking innocent people then God help us. We have completely lost it. What kind of police is this that waits for complaints even where there is fighting and thuggery. Even Sata himself never waited when he reported his fellow Africans to the colonial authorities. This Sata must be stopped otherwise our country will be engulfed in unnecessary anarchy.

  13. And Ndola Police office is approximately 500metres from where Sun FM is, the police did not even receive a phone call that there was a fracas in their vicinity? This makes sad reading.

  14. there goes another Ugly one. bushe ba Police bali nachoice or bamadoba chabe vikashana va mu komboni. Kasosa is one hell of another of these sapiens that were not priotised in the creation of mankind.

  15. Joyce when there is reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed or is about to be committed your Job is to investigate and if necessary make searches and arrest suspects.
    This is NIPA101 Criminal Law stuff.

  16. This kasosa a pf cadre was there watching ha men taunted by pf thugs and plice run for their bellies’ zambians voted for a bigot,brute,a biological liar as president the worst act in zambia!
