There was drama at the Kasama High Court session this morning when two (2) accused persons exchanged punches with police officers, who wanted to re-arrest them for aggravated robbery.
This was after the accused, who included a police officer, were discharged by Ndola High Court Judge Jane Kabuka after the State entered a nolle prosequi in the matter.
The duo were facing one count of aggravated robbery contrary to section 294 sub-section one chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia.
After the court ruling, the accused attempted to run away but alert police officers, some dressed in plain clothes, intercepted the duo and later a fight erupted.
The accused police officer identified as Boniface Kaunda became aggressive and started throwing punches at other officers, who tried hard to over-power him in bid to have him re-arrested.
It took at least five minutes for the police officers to successfully subdue the accused, whom they later dragged to Kasama Central Police Station.
However, the dramatic scene attracted scores of on-lookers who were left wondering as to what was happening at the High Court as police officers kept vigil of the court premise.
According to details of the offence, the police officer together with his civilian co-accused did break into Food Reserve Agency (FRA) storage sheds in Kasama’s TAZARA area and got away with about K80 million cash in the armed robbery.
The police officer, who was armed at the time, and his accomplice were later arrested and charged with aggravated robbery.
However, according to information obtained by ZANIS, the docket for the accused persons has allegedly gone missing in unexplained circumstances at Kasama Central Police Station forcing the State prosecutor in the matter to discontinue the case before the High Court.
Efforts to get details from Northern Province Police Commanding Officer Charles Lungu proved futile.

These people have no respect for the Authorities

Can’t i just be nambala l-)??

Interesting thing to o
Interesting thing to do
Ok nambala l-):)>-
Oh yes, not bad at #. :)>-.
Authority should be respected. Why fight na boma?
Kuti mwaipona shani na ba kapokola sure! Ba ngena ba shetani!
Can someone explain to me what it means to enter a nolle? If it means what I thinks it does, why where those ex-accused even trying to escape?
“There was drama at the Kasama High Court session this morning when two (2) accused persons exchanged punches with police officers, who wanted to re-arrest them for aggravated robbery.”
Bakapitamo naba mpolyo zoona ma-gaizi. Pesi tabamvwi.
“The docket for the accussed persons has allegedly gone missing in unexplained circumstances” Uhh…Kuli wamene afuna kumu dyesamo ka tiziba. De police department!!
Hi everyone, let me read the story first…coment later.:)]
“Steal but dont get caught” [-x just a say guyz
the police have always had a few loose screws
So wandewo apa nindani ,buju nanga kawalala.
They should have been shot right there and then; no question about it!
^:)^^:)^:d/:d/
Owe batimbani buju suwa? Niya how pa zed? Mabulo? Eli bad!
crazy indeed,if the kizo’s wouldn’t wasted their tym trying to run away had the other coaccused shud huv bin aware that the case was closed. Maybe they had so much guts to rush and spend the loot.
This guy to me is giulty.firstly,he used unknown mechanisms pakuti docket of case isobe.secondly,his fighting fellow policemen was that he leaves the court premises before the arrest because he knew that if he wasnt rearrested there and then,it was going to be imposible to arrest him later on the same facts.anyway you cant fight muso.it wil be bad for him this time. Ni no mercy.
Nolle!! This guy knew that he was gonna be rearrested becoz after the docket went missing, the only way was for the state to enter a nolle and open a new case. Angena mambala. Anso amenyana na boma! walakwakale mambala.
I think its high time the Police goes for intensive kungFu training. Otherwise ifipondo fyakulaboma amakofi.
If you can’t do the time, don’t bother with the crime.
b-(b-(@-)@-)
Ba Buju iyashi lya kulyamo tamwakaleke….. you are an embaressment to the Zambians when asked to offer service and protect the people you are now joing the robbers and criminals#
how dishearting
Nensoni tabakwata ba high court, how can sensitive documents in the name of a docket surely go missing? the firt culprit shud be the person in charge of where these papers are kept. if they are ten of them get them in. i have never heard papers growing wings or legs and move themselves from the locker and just vanish like that. its high time these people in the courts started appearing before other courts. allow the supreme court to arrest the high court judge of kasama and he will wulula
# 16. Mo taim
You have asked a Question “So wandewo apa nindani ,buju nanga kawalala”
Well the same Buju is the kawalala.
What sort of records management is this? A file going missing? How? Can the culprits be arrested please?
😮
can’t ZANIS provide us with pictures of that sight paoneka penze makofi.
balibachengesha ba police bala chilamo mwee
All police officers are the same, they connive with robbers and criminals, no wonder they just arrest these criminals for few days and they let them go free.
Ba Soda,there are still a lot of bad elements in the Police Service. How does a docket go missing from a police station like Kasama Central Police. That was inside job. Commander Charlie Lingwana ensure that all officers who aided in having the docket disappear in thin airs are delt with even if it means suspending the entire squad. IG Franco Kabongolo take keen interest in this matter dont just seat at HQ chewing the imprest.I commemd the brave officers who subdued that thug officer to charge him afresh.Sad for the Lusaka officer who killed his superior and later took his own life.IG weed out indisplined officers who think they own ZPS.
You reap what you sow.
#28 mpangula thanks for the answer, i had an idea that it had to do with calculus and mwasova
Nika fwafwa yeka yeka.. punches here and there,files going missing.. what else can I say?
These are normal occurrences especially where a cop is involved. Greediness including corruption is the order of the day.:o
Lord save Zed :((
THE POLICE DO AGAIN,JUST YESTERDAY THEY SHOOT EACH OTHER,TODAY THEY ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER,THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM IN THE POLICE SERVICE,IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO ILL AND POOR TRAINING,THEY ARE ILL TRAINED PERIOD!
80 Mills at work. The Prosecutor is an accessory after the facts.
THESE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US BUT LOOK AT THEM. ANYWAY, THEY GET SO LITTLE. MAYBE HE WANTED A TOP UP ON THE SALARY :d
He is a very dangerous criminal.He should be caged.
Bring the Barbarian days back slaughter all the culprits.
