Inspector General of Police (IG) Kakoma Kanganja  has warned criminals who have
resorted to acts of sabotage that they will not spared once arrested.
Mr Kanganja said in a statement that intelligence information indicate that some criminals are planning to deliberately cause havoc through destroying or vandalizing vital installations which include bridges,power stations, transmission lines,government buildings,communication facilities,to mention but a few.
He has urged members of the public to be alert and those who may have information that may lead to the apprehension of criminals behind the illegal acts should report to any nearest Police Station without delay.
Mr Kanganja said all those that may know people who are planning to engage in activities of sabotage should inform the police as soon as possible.
The Zambia Police Service is offering a reward of K100,000 to anyone who may have information that may lead to the apprehension of anynperson or persons behind the clandestine activities of cutting ZESCO pylons.
“We have intensified our operations to ensure that all vital installations are safe guarded.We will also be mounting Snap Security check points in which motor vehicles will be stopped randomly and subjected to thorough searches,”Kanganja said
He has since called upon members of the public to cooperate with the law enforcement officers whenever they were stopped.
The IG said the security, peace, and stability of the nation is a collective responsibility
of all Zambians.
110% these are UPND
I have a PhD
Thanks

There is a direct correlation between crime and poverty.
Do your job IG. These warnings and threats are rubbish. We need to hear reports of arrests and protection of public property. The only property you seem to protect belongs to PF. At least have some decency. Is this really what your dream was when you enlisted into the Police Service, to take orders from civilians and bootlicking? Where is your dream?
On weekends GRZ vehicles work ferrying PF cadres. Public property is daily abused by PF. Today you talk about public installations. How about the Police stations you are destroying by infesting them with PF termites?
Kapyongo: “Kanganja jump!”
Kanganja: “How high bwana?”
Lusambo: “Just jump, iwe atase”
Kanganja: “Ok, bwana, immediately after I finish licking Amos’ and Kaizer’s dirty boots”.
ECL: “Jump and bark now now so”
Kanganja: “Inde mwami”.
Now public support is vital, yes it is. But IG how come you are absent when PF cadres rain terror on the public, evening undressing our mothers right in front of your men and women? And when are you going to speak your own mind and not reflecting Kapiyongo’s with no training like you.
Third world people are brainless, they destroy their own property and blame govt for their woes. Ubusushi bweka bweka!
I also don’t like that kind of protests.
But PF keep repeating There is no confusion in Zambia? How do you get help. Men of God warns that they feel and see in eyes of church goers that there is tension in country… Ati no “no its media attention”.
What has happened with those PF national prayers? Gather and pray.
IG raises important security threats and we have individuals responding like from out of body. Unhinged is the word. Someone here has also said “These warnings and threats are rubbish” completely out of this world. The fact that the IG is saying this in the public domain is evidence of him taking a big step into finding the perpetrators. Problem is you think national security is only for the police to maintain.
Is this another political witch-hunt scheme?
Hilarious! Check the headline once and twice if you miss it! The whole of an IG is being belittled! “Kakanganja!”
Is he repeating what his puppet master Kampyongo said? I don’t understand why the police taint their message with politicians. They should emulate the FBI’s independence and desist from allow politicians to dictate for them. The top cop in particular should never be seen mingling and hanging out with the politicians like ministers and the president. They should keep a distance.
As if we didn’t see enough of your stupidity in your ridiculous Mongu motorcade plot, you are now offering rewards for future imaginary crimes. You really know how to stick your foot up your arse!
Tembo you are an i.mbicile. how do you justify destruction of public property? Very baxkwards. This is rural I.diocy
@Nono. I think you better tell that to your father. When you don’t understand how the world works, it’s best to keep quiet. Nincompoop!
@Tembo, and how does the world work???
@Zambia1, what would you like to know?
@Mr. Tembo, you wrote @Nono. I think you better tell that to your father. When you don’t understand how the world works, it’s best to keep quiet.Nincompoop.
My question is how does the world work in reference to your statement?
@Zambia1. You would know how the world works if you read your history and analysed it critically. Research FTJ and Black Mamba/Zero Option tactics in the 1990. There are times when the state itself perpetrates acts of terrorism against itself or own citizens, and then lays the blame on others.
Don’t insult. Be sober minded. Please tone down this unzambian language. . Preach love,unit of purpose and above all, find a solution to all this. The security of our country does not lie entirely in the hands of the IG, but to us all as zambians
Remove the wildly widening disparities between the rich and the poor. Otherwise, be ready to host crime.
Chalo chakusokana
Ka Mushota, 110 % this is pf trying to frame/blame upnd.
Kanganga is the most f00lish and stupid IG Zambia has ever known. The PF f00ls who are using him will not be there to save him once Lungu goes. PF have planned to sabotage the so called infrastructure to blame it on innocent opposition and have Lungu declare a state of emergency and this f00l called IG does not see it.
It be nice if you ??????took a tranquilizer right now.
Don’t insult. Be sober minded. Please tone down this unzambian language. . Preach love,unit of purpose and above all, find a solution to all this. The security of our country does not lie entirely in the hands of the IG, but to us all as zambians
why are you scared of state of emergence. First you cried an how people will suffer for voting for Lungu. That did not quite work. Now the tension is being recreated.
God help us Zambians from the brutality of pf regime. Do not be silent father. Hear our humble cry, the pf is the most evil party ever in the history of Zambia. Do something God to save Zambians.
Only a foool would run to this cadre Kakoma Kanganja to report any one as they will arrest you. This figure has now reduced from K300k to K100K…
Are you in support of sabotage or not.?
This is all lungu and his kaponya supporters trying to justify the incarceration of HH.
We all remember bweengwa where imaginary highly trained UPND commandos kidnapped GRZ, PF and other journalists. Except on evidence was ever found of a kidnapping.
We also all remember GBM training youth in the use of golf clubs, catapults and boxing gloves to take on the Zambia defence forces and overthrow lungu.
All PF lies.
Now to deflect attention from the rocketing cost of living and unemployment they are blaming imaginary forces of sabotage……most of which is their PF unemployed jarebos trying to steal copper.
@Spaka, If a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it is a man still wrong?
Zambia1
Lies only expose their imperfections more….
Kanganja must first start with Chagwa Lungu, the principal vandal vandalising out constitution, the judiciary and stae coffers! These are vital state institutions that this criminal is vandalising.
These cadres in uniform can not trusted..this IG has zero credibility you never hear from him only politicially tilted allegations. The foool who will go to claim their money will be told it was a type error its K100 or k300!!
@nono that f00l is not a “MR.TEMBO”. But a pure tonga just like “spaka like lilo,nez,etc”.
A lot of f00ls from tongaland are not proud of their tribe.so they use names from the North and East to give HH a fake image(to show that HH is supported by majority Zambians when in fact not)!!
ALL UPND TACTICS ARE IN VAIN!!by end of this week,their tonga god HH will have spent 90 days in jail.instead of them trying to use civilised way (dialogue) to secure HH’s release from jail,they have kept on TAKING EVIL ACTIONS.meaning,the number of upnd cadres behind bars will keep on increasing because ZP wont spare them!!THE FASTER UPND STOPPED PRACTICING ITS COLONIAL POLITICS THE BETTER FOR THEM!!
So what is a problem with one being pure Tonga?? Or being a pure bemba ??
@Nono, another comment devoid of any substance. Does it offend you that I am from the East and I support an innocent Tonga against my fellow evil tribesman? Try to reason like a grown up person. Stop halucinating like Kanganja
sorry @Nono, meant the retard @Njimbu
The Inspector General Kanganja must stop issuing warning statements to criminals. His role is to quietly and professionally institute investigations to capture the culprits. Such warnings by the IG may suggest failure to execute police work, and may also serve as alerts for criminals to go underground.
We are still awaiting for results of the investigations on the Tonga version of the MAU MAU activities in Southern Province.
Intelligence report? We had similar talks of so called intelligence which turned out to be either lies or PF schemes to label the opposition as criminals. Only time will tell. Do your investigations first before alarming the nation. Why have you not arrested the perpetrators of those crimes?
It is extremely difficult to live in this country called Zambia unless one is a PF supporter.
The only people in this country that seem to see peace are PF sympathisers. They are able to kill, maim, hate or even insult for the sake of keeping their territory.
This country is fast degenerating into a one – party state where other parties can’t speak, lest they be arresting.
Any divergent views are regarded as insubordination. It is a country of threats and threats and threats only.
I really wonder where we will be at this pace in the next two three years.
MARK MY WORDS, VINDICTIVENESS, SELFISHNESS IS GROWING AT AN ALARMING RATE.
The upnd should be listed as a terror group, it’s members found committing these acts be classified as terrorists, they are not from book haram who brow up oil pipelines.
Correction :they not from boko haram
UPNDonkeys…who else?
The problem with policing in Zambia is that someone holds a remote control and uses it as andwhen to guide arrests! Legitimacy on the part of the police is thus, compromised even when it’s genuine.
Arrest a sample of the UPNDonkeys, give them the American treatment of waterboding. They will squeal and then arrest the real suspects and lock them up in the same cell as U5 and his five accomplices. Ten of them should be good company…
I think they have list reason and direction. How do you gain support by plunging your fellows into darkness and destroying their livelihood? Is that Candidacy for popularity?
So the pylons were brought down by charcoal fire according to Lusambo! I suppose if one is found with charcoal at these snap police checks Kanganja is talking about it will be regarded as weapons of terrorism. Pretty scarry. We are moving from treason to terrorism.
Insecurity always emanates from positioning oneself where they do not belong. A prostitute who grabs another woman’s husband can never leave the legitimate wife alone, this is exactly what we are seeing under these masquerades. Why was FTJ, Levy and Sata so free even to defy their security protocols just to mingle with the people? Was it not because their legitimacy was endorsed by their popular votes? Can the same be said about those who wielded pangas to grab the seat at party level and eventually openly rigged the election and blocked every avenue to verify the petition by their competitors? A normal person feels ashamed to do the unthinkable, but the ones we are dealing with here are animals without an iota of conscience.
meaning? it is okay for poor people because Lungu is illegally in state house according to UPND! The souls of poor people that are suffering because of your political savage acts will raise against you and your party!
