A vehicle belonging to chief Mwewa of Luapula province has been burnt to ashes by an instant mob justice in Kasama in Northern Province after it was involved in a road traffic accident (RTA) which resulted in the death a 46 year old man.
Northern Province Police Commissioner, Charity Katanga, confirmed to Zambia News and Information Services in Luwingu that Obeyed Sinyangwe was yesterday hit by the Toyota twin cab registration number ABJ 3775 belonging to chief Mwewa of Luapula Province.
Mrs Katanga explained that the incident happened around 08:40 on Monday in Bwebe village before tehe angry mob descended to the vehicle and burnt it ashes.
She said the vehicle was being driven by Jacob Mulenga, 25, of Chiba village in the same chiefdom.
Mrs Katanga said chief Mwewa left the keys on the table as he was bathing before Jacob saw and stole them and drove the vehicle without authority resulting in the road accident.
Police have since launched a man hunt for Jacob who is still at large, adding that if arrested he will be charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
Whoever wrote this report, why can’t you be serious and give us clear details??!!!
1. title says mob was in Luwingu. report says mob was in Kasama
2. Chief Mwewa of Luapula, the report sounds as if Bwebe and chiba villages are in Mwewa chiefdom.
Add to that:
3. ‘an instant mob justice’
ZEDIAN Journalism. Its a BIG joke
add more.. “tehe angry mob” ….”burnt it ashes”.
And this sentence was worse:
“Mrs Katanga said chief Mwewa left the keys on the table as he was bathing before Jacob saw and stole them and drove the vehicle without authority resulting in the road accident”.
Equally not so clear about where the accident took place and where chief mwewa stays.
LT editors post such type of trash yet they are quick to moderate our “professional nicely edited” posts…..styopet..
Some children sometimes misbehaves and this is a lesson to many children especially when you do not have a license to drive this is the outcome mostly.
