FORMER Minister of Defence Geoffrey Mwamba has allegedly assaulted Collins Mudayi, Logistics Officer at Arizona at Arizona Marketing and Distributors.

Mr Mwamba, who is also Kasama member of Parliament, is alleged to have slapped and punched Mr Mudayi on May 14, 2014 at his company premises.

Lusaka Province commissioner of police Lemmy Kajoba confirmed that Matero Police Station in Lusaka has received a complaint of assault from one of Mr Mwamba’s workers.

Mr Kajoba said Mr Mwamba, popularly known as GBM, was summoned to appear for interviews at 14:00 hours yesterday but will be at the police station tomorrow.

“Mr Mwamba was summoned today [yesterday] at 14:00 hours for interviews but sent in an excuse.

However, both parties have agreed to appear here in the morning on Friday,” he said.

However records have shown that Mr Mudayi, while employed at Arizona forged GBM’s signature to steal fuel worth K920.00 and this matter was reported to the Police 7 days ago. The records at the police further reveal that Mr. Mudayi went to police to report about the alleged assault 3 days ago. However, the police have not arrested Mr. Mudayi for forgery despite the documentary evidence submitted to them showing the forgery by GBM’s office.

    • @Lungu Joshua 1 or what ever I don’t understand your connection to the comment. Where is a woman mentioned. I need what you are on bro or maybe it could kill me or you insane or just rushing to comment in cohesively or for the sake of commenting like so many new bloggers. The internet is great isn’t it? Sorry if am mistaken. Any way we will wait for the outcome of this to air our views.

    • lungu is a walking wounded; he has been posting that in copy ‘n paste fashion on almost every article’s discussion. Knowing guys the girl in question simply ditched him… Just ignore him now…

  1. A thief brings destruction and every person is provoked and becomes emotional to am extent of physical confrontation, acting on impulse! Let both “cases” assault and forgery be dealt with accordingly without giving more weight or publicity to one at the expense of another!

    • Mr mudayi is a kawalala,,, he deserves to be slap, Leave GBM alone,, there is NO asault if you slap a kawalala,,, thats why kumboni they use tyres to reduce the population of thievies

    • Mudayi chap must be a PF plant. I mean how else have the police not arrested him for forgery/stealing? Now they want to lock up his victim.

      Typical political harassment!

  2. I wonder what the police were waiting for. Why is it that they failed to deal with the earlier crime of forgery but swiftly moved in with the battery offence? Does this mean that GBM’s company does not deserve police protection just because he expressed his freedom of association by dissociating himself with the thieving gang in PF?
