Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) Senanga Member of Parliament Likando Mufalali has accused a Police officer in Inspector General of Police Stella Libongani’s motorcade of assaulting him.
Mr. Mufali has told Qfm News in a telephone interview that the incident happened this afternoon around 15:00 hours on his way back from the Copperbelt near Mulungushi University in Kabwe.
He narrates that while he was driving a the Police Inspector General’s motorcade signaled from behind and that he pulled off the road to give way for the motorcade to pass, and later started following the motorcade behind when one of the Police officers stopped him and asked why he was following the Inspector General’s motorcade.
Mr. Mufali explains that it was at this point that the Police officer twisted his arm and before breaking his car keys.
The Parliamentarian has complained of pain in the arm which was twisted by the Police officer who left him stranded after his keys were broken.
But when contacted for comment Police Spokesperson Charity Munganga Chanda says the Inspector General’s official vehicle ZP 1 is a VIP vehicle and that Police have the duty to protect the Inspector General of Police at all times.
Mrs. Chanda says no one has the right to follow the vehicle behind without permission as doing so raises suspicious as to what the motive of a person following behind might be.
She has however stated that police will investigate the matter.
But why follow motorcade ?you should have given it 5 minutes before driving.
Ban the UPND now, their conduct is a disgrace
This MP wouldn’t make a councillor in PF
Disgraceful and i bet their president won’t punish this man.
They run their party like a social club
Thanks
HH + UNDP = Nonsense mixed with sh*t squared
@Nubian Princess: – All this in your mutilated Lower Down AR.SE!! Kununka!
this is what happens when you get a poor girl (stella libongani, yes libongani with ndebele connection in zimbabwe) from linda compound in livingstone and make her police service IG,,,,,
The police is a service,,,, The IG of police must serve the public,,,, giving way and protect the public,,,, Zambia has a police service NOT a police force
but `educated monkeys` above (comment 1, comment 1.2 and comment 1.3) are swimming with witches with mangoes in their brains
PF KAKA BE CONSIDERATE, I THINK THE FASTER SATA KICKS THE BUCKET THE BETTER AND PEACE WILL RETURN TO ZAMBIA
THSES I’NGOMBE ILEDE PARTY JUST WANT TO CAUSE CONFUSSION.WHY DIDN T HE WAIT THAT THE IG’S MOTERCADE PASS BEFORE JOINING.THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS HAVING A FREEMASON ON TOP OF THE REALM OF THE PARTY.EVERYONE WILL BE DEMONICALLY POSSECED.PIPO WATCH OUT TO GIVE POWER TO THIS FREEMASON,HE CAN TAKE THE CHRISTIAN NATION IN DEEP SATANISM………
@Ndobo, kekekeke thank God I didn’t comment above you! Ati “educated Monkeys”?? Am sorry Princess Nubian that you got undressed on a Monday.
Ukutemwa ichimpwena aba bantu bakulamikata ififine.Ulemona kwati niku Monze ?
I hope the fagot & his UPND fanatics won’t claim to have been following Mangango ballot boxes in ZP 1.On the other note how does the I.G. go by road that distance instead of flying???
@ FTJ you are a christian, therefore the Love of Christ should shine through you. How does the MP’s action relate to HH. Secondly if you strongly believe HH is in FreeMasonry why don’t you pray for him and preach the gospel to him. The same fears were instilled in Zambians concerning Mazoka , he could have steered our country and economy to greater heights. God is bigger than Freemasonry if the allegations are true and God can use anyone who is willing to serve out of a genuine heart. God does not look at the outward appearance but the heart.
Based upon your allegations since HH is at the top everyone under him is demon possessed. Are you aware that there are Born Again Christians in UPND probably also among his workers. Please do not make general statements that cannot be verified. There is still room at the cross and the blood of Jesus can wash any type of sin. The same blood of Jesus that washed your sins can wash HH’s sins based upon your allegations. Both HH and Dr Mumba can make great presidents. Zambia needs a strong UPND and a strong MMD. God richly bless you.
F00lish MP, he got what he deserves.
However, if he is so aggrieved, he take take the matter to court
Why can’t you BUILD them them their own roads. LINK LEADERS ROADS 36000
Only Zambia has such stupidity that IGs also behave like presidents. This is why they think they are above the law. We will come take over all such silly luxury will go. PF has taken Zambians back to UNIP days.
These guys in UPND are confused , we always hear of them fighting the police whyare they so childish honestly speaking how can you from nowhere join a motorcarde of which you don’t belong ; these guys are a bunch of crap now the keys broken left stranded with twisted arm that is stupidity.
When she is no longer IG we will be rubbing shoulders with her in markets……
@Pretty: Even tu ma small boys twakulatundilamo!
What surprises me in Zambia is that even security guards have the audacity to inconvenience motorists. You see all kinds of vehicles on Zambian roads nowadays some even driven by nonentities commanding other motorists to pave way.
@The Chosen One: I agree BUT what do you expect when a Dog SataN is in power? Even Squindrels like Kazimu Sata who has never worked in his life get Body Guards and VIP Motor cades!
Zombies in charge – this can only happen in Zambia!
being important for just one or two years. libongoni just know that your days in that position are fast running out. as soon as sata’s days finish on earth even your days as inspector general will come to a halt. only if you can remember what became of Mbilishi a minister in kaunda’s govt, that is what you will also become. lozis are usually very dull people despite having a lot of schools in their area. kaondes seem to be better looking at what mateo did
How does tribe come in here mushindo wa wiso?
Pardon my ignorance; but how many kilometres are we allowed to drive behind the IG; never learnt it at driving school????
There is no law suggesting otherwise, PF are just lunatics in power on borrowed time. Time is all I can say for now. Time, time, time and the timer is on PF.
He needs to be compensated for the unnecessary police brutality he suffered.
Crap. Who the hell is she. She relies on tax payers to earn a living doing a job that does not require thinking.
When Sata is no more President she will be ground zero.
Chilyata, insults are a sign of weakness and lack of the ability to articulate your point of views. However, when you insult others they may insult you but deep thinkers will not lower themselves to such level. Hate, envy, character assassination of Sata and his son will not help you. Imagine someone insults your parents, how will you feel? Mr Sata is a parent, family man, more less like your father. Insulting Nubian Princess is more less like insulting females who may have access to this site or your own sister or female family member.
Lusaktimes should not allow this low level of insults to continue, we may have different ideologies and belong to different political parties , disagreeing or agreeing is only healthy when our different opinions are respected despite strongly with ours.
He is from ZWD, go check his insults there,you would think he did not come from a woman.
I think he does not know his Parents.
@Pafwenamwine:
You Di.ckhead – that is the only language Bemba Ar.sewhores including you understand! Stupid Monkey – you DONT see the insults when Bembas abusing other people – do you?
YOUR Bemba wh.ore “Nubian Princess” had JUST called HH as “Sh.*t Squared” – Is that NOT an insult to you? What you can debate about that? What a PR.ICK you are – do you think we cannot insult back?
SATA was calling Kunda “Red Lips” and Mwanawasa as “Cabbage” – NO normal OLD MAN would do that to a sick person! Only a DOG like Sata can do that.
Kazimu punched Journalist Zyambo early this year for no reason – just because he knows he has Body Gurads to protect him! A useless bas.tard abusing power like that! Hope that squashed small head will NOT produce Vegetables for Sata! Kazimu can expect…
@Robin:
What a Di.ckhead you are! You must be one of the many Bastards born out your mother’s One Night Stand with that Dog in State House called SataN! Do you really know your father? Scumbag!
Let me make it clear to Monkeys like you that some of us will not fold our arms when that Dog of yours SataN at Statehouse abuses others like he did to Kunda, Mazoka, Mwanawasa to mention just a few!
You and SataN are just the same BUT dont ever think you have a monopoly of abuse or insults or even violence on other people! We are going to hit you back and even HARDER to take the SH.IT out of your Monkey heads!
At one time i almost thought upnd would restore our lost hope because head count indicates most of their mps have some education background. Alass these fellows are worse than all the pf nonsense put together. The guys are just too childish. What was this old man trying to prove. I blame the police for not sorting him out.
The lessons to learn from the UPND style of doing things is one thing. Because PF managed to get into power using this same style of violence and generally engaging in controversial tactics to attract media attention, they have also adopted the same style.
I beg my fellow Zambians never to fall into the trap of thinking that is the party that should be voted into power because we have been painfully shown by PF what that kind of politics breeds – a rough lawless government such as we are suffering with PF. Zambians please do not be cheated again. UPND may be even more vicious than PF. Their anger has a long history. Just listen to those sponsored voices of Proud, Mulando etc on radio talk shows. Let us be very careful. Look at the acts in Mangango already.
Evil cannot triumph over good. So will PF not survive. Time will tell
Again there are a number of shocking views here. How can one honestly support such stupidity by the police? Even the explanation from the so-called police spokesperson is preposterous to say the least. The MP gave way – then continued behind as he was going in the same direction. Did he threaten anyone? Why should the IG even have a motorcade? Tin-pot mentality all around. I suspect if it had been a PF MP, nothing would have happened. Some bloggers are always defending the indefensible.
Oh, come on now! For goodness sake let the IG pack a pistol and give her a bodyguard with an AK47 and send her on her way! A bl00dy motorcade, for what!?
Aren’t we simply wasting resources on security details for government personnel who deserves less? What threats does the IG faces which require an entire “police brigade” to provide security against? If that’s the case then something has gone terribly wrong in the relationship between the Police and the general public.
As someone has already asked, what are the rules on following a VIP motorcade? Is it 1, 5, 10, 15 minutes behind? If this MP erred by following too closely, the police should have just stopped him, cautioned or advised him to stay back a bit more than harassing the poor guy by breaking his car keys.
Mr. Yambayamba, thank you, straight thinking brings sobriety to a discussion. In the same vain woe to all spewing unprintables on this blog! The police officer should be investogated and if possible sanctioned. I am certain no one instructed him to arm twist an elderly man, who is also a legislator and leave him stranded by breaking his keys. I hope the MP got the vehicle/motorbike Reg. No. Kindly go to the nearest police station.
NUbian princess = s/hit pus.sy + ass mashinsha
Proof that this country will 10000 years before developing even an jnch forward. Why do we have a motorcade for the head of police? Why does she protection like she some political president of a war torn country? She is supposed to be in front line of fire, dodging in coming bullets from criminals… that’s her job she signed up to, not enjoying VIP status inconveniencing other motorists with motorcade nonsense. If she wants those luxuries let her campaign for the presidency of Afghanistan where the president requires real protection. This is total abuse of tax payer money and limited police resources required to fight crime. What a circus of a country we have? Oh dear this country really needs a person to restore order and stop all this nonsense.

This is a joke right…which mob boss or drug dealer in his right mind would put a hit on a ZP IG and expect a peaceful night sleep with his wife. I remember back in the day when the IG only had a self driven Pajero…I used to bump into him at Long arches Barclays Bank car park on Saturdays. This silly woman Stellar doesn’t need a driver let alone a motorcade..this recklessness is just unbelievable.
How many vehicles did the IG meet and drivers didnt have trouble with our police?
Amazing. How can one even think it? Motorcade for IG? Other motorists should not follow the motorcade? Haaa. This is total madness. Is this really true, I mean, did this really happen to Hon. Likando Mufalali? I do not believe the story. And the usual thugs blogging here are even condemning Hon Likando!! Well, those are thugs, what does one expect. Do thugs need good reasons for the murders, robberies, rapes and many more heinous crimes they commit? No. of course not, and the reason is that they have criminal minds.
People forget that these positions are temporary. When will our leaders ever learn who their employers are… Whether his opposition or not, if it’s a crime, let him face the law.
I have seen these traffic leeches chasing VIP motorcades, ambulances and funeral processions and always thought they were Bemba kaponyas. I never thought they could be even “honourable” MPs! Now we know! This sikuba is lucky that only his key was broken. He should have been charged with dangerous and reckless driving, over-speeding and endangering lives. He should have kept his moment of stupidity to himself instead of going public. Wa lyambwa ni mwana a namukuka, indeed!
It’s at own risk that one follows/pursues a VIP motrocade anywhere in the world. Such an act would get one bumped off the road, shot at or even killed in KK’s days. We take so much for granted in this country.
Always remember that your freedom and rights end where your fellow man’s start. Don’t overstep, please!
1. Who is more senior, an MP or the IG? 2. GBM had a motorcade when he was Defence Minister and it was removed from him. Hence, why should a junior be entitled to a motorcade when a Minister cannot have one? 3. Was it correct to break his key and leave him stranded? 4. Couldn’t the police officer have resolved the issue through dialogue especially after learning that he is a Parliamentarian and therefore was not a threat? 5. Was it necessary to twist his arm therefore assaulting him? 5. The IG may be entitled to security and an entourage when moving but I don’t think she is entitled to a motorcade where motorists move out of the road as if it is the Vice President or H.E. passing. This act was wrong and the police officer should be disciplined. The Speaker needs to intervene and
Sometimes before commenting try and get the credible facts. Police persons do not rough anybody up for no reason at all. Beyond the biased journalism there is the truth of the matter. For the Police to be suspicious of the hons car he must have something which alarmed them. For your information you cannot compare an MP , the Police ingepol and a minister. They all have different conditions of service. Did you know that all the service chiefs are entitled to motorcades. Just go to Cabinet office the is a public book there that outlines their conditions of service. Once you do that come and yap rascal!
No baane, the Minister was wrong! These motorcades are usually driven at 160Km/hr. fearing their shadows. Honestly, how can a sane person follow the motorcade at that speed. Dishonorable Likando was just been childish to even think of following at that speed when he’s not even trained to drive at that speed. in case of an emergency breaks he was a risk to the motorcade and its entourage. In police training for VIP escorts you get rid of obstacles by doing everything possible within reasonable means to get of risks such as our poor MP.
I commend the police officer for showing patience and tolerance. He was kind enough to just break Likando’s car key. This Likando Mufalali is the same twit who condemned Aka Lewanika for advising HH not to use Barotse Agreement as a campaign issue. Likando should in fact be jailed for endangering the life of the IG. Palibonse abashakwata amaano, Likando chinangwa. So apa he did it deliberately just to get attention. He is a bl.oody *****…I pity his family. Lock him up and throw away the key, kapuba sana.
Please can you please answer the following questions. especial;ly that he gave way to the IG
1)How was he endangering the life of the IG when he was following behind.
2) Where in the laws of Zambia is it written that you must not follow the motorcade especially when coming from the same direction.
3) Does the Police have the right to take law into their own hand by breaking someone’s key?That shows a lack of proper training at Lilayi where they spend time basking in the sun.
Finally@Mwembeshi please stick to the topic under discussion.Why insult him and bring in Barotse issues.
From the tone you seem bitter,why?
@ RED SQUARE
Here is my response:
1)How was he endangering the life of the IG when he was following behind.
– Exactly, nobody is allowed to follow a VIP motorcade too closely.
2) Where in the laws of Zambia is it written that you must not follow the motorcade especially when coming from the same direction.
– If you follow a VIP motorcade too closely, it’s against the law.
3) Does the Police have the right to take law into their own hand by breaking someone’s key?
– Breaking his key is the only way to stop him from driving too close. Atleast that delayed him a bit.
Finally@Mwembeshi please stick to the topic under discussion.Why insult him and bring in Barotse issues.
From the tone you seem bitter,why?
– Not bitter at all. Likando is just too dull. ‘Twit’ is…
Really this MP is very stuppidly dull. Any way we know UPND guys very well. He wanted news out of it so that the blame falls on PF.. no man, Zambians now know you guys very well that you are just a bunch of useless people.
Please ZP throw that MP in cells so that he learns respect for VIP motor cades. Useless MP indeed. shame on him.
The Mp could have been in the casket or intensive care unit had he tried to follow the Army Generals motorcade. The police were on him.
The conduct amounted to bleach of security to the service commanders in general.
We know that all the service chiefs have bodyguards and move with motorcades. reasons are based on the nature of their jobs. Any person including lawmakers (MP) should lead by example to the society by doing the right thing.
My president HH should not comment on this incident because it has no substance at all.
But let it be investigated properly. All i know is that the MP may have acted irresponsibly and engendering his own life as well as that of the motorcade.
MY OPINION.
Perhaps what is even more disheartening is not so much the barbaric behaviour of the cops and the unnecessary motorcade of their Inspector General, but rather reading the comments on this blog both supporting the IG and her overzealous cops and condemning the victim MP. Regardless of your party allegiance, if this is the calibre of what Zambia can produce, then we should forget about development (and I mean development of the mind). It begs belief that the supposedly enlightened and schooled Zambians can’t even see anything wrong in not only the behaviour of the cops, but also in the fact that a cop has a motorcade. Shocking is not enough a word to describe it.
Clearly people on this thread dont value the supremacy of the constitution. What ever contrived rules you are bringing up of forbidding the following of a VIP vehicle or IG protection are invalid as long as the MP has the right to freedom of movement and expression.
Seriously guys, the job of the IG is to protect citizens not to be protected.
Someone must orient the UPND wat freedom of speech or movement means, coz one day we shall see honorable HH urinating or doing boggo under a tree in Cairo road, in the name of freedom. The MP is very stupid, even to complain by calling the press and seeking public sympathy. If anything, his vehicle was supposed to be shot at , or tyres punctured . Is this the way they shall run this country if given a chance to rule?. Infact, the UPND still needs alot of tym to learn , otherwise they shall make a big mess if given an opportunity to run this country. When their own Henry Mtonga ( Former IG & MP for Kanyama ) was IG, did anyone mess up with him? People needs to grow.
Some people like you are still stack in the old mentality. Are you even listening to your self. You cant even understand basic human rights. You are the same people giving Zambians the gullible reputation.
