Police in Lusaka have arrested two people in connection with the assault of a male adult identified as Nicholas Kaonga aged 22 who was seen being beaten by Security Guards in a video that went viral.
The victim who reported the matter to Garden Police is employed as a CCTV operator by Cyber Guard Security Company and was, at the time of the ordeal, deployed at Radisson Blu Hotel.
Police spokesperson Esther Katongo said those arrested and released on Police Bond are Davies Sebente and Albert Silwamba both Security Guards at Cyber Guard Security Company and were charged with Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm.
She said brief facts are that on 19th October, 2018, the victim reported for work in a drunken state and is alleged to have misbehaved whilst on duty.
Mrs. Katongo said the victim was later picked up by his fellow employees who are Security Guards at the same Company and taken to the Company Office in Northmead where he was allegedly beaten by the Security Guards.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Katongo has dispeled reports circulating on Social Media that Cyber Guard Security Company belongs to Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo.
She said the outcome of Police investigation based on records at PACRA indicates that the company in question does not belong to Mr. Kampyongo.
In another development, Mrs. Katongo said Police have apprehended three people in connection with a forged Interpol document published on Zambia Daily Mail website and also circulating on social media in which it is purported that Paul Lokonde Lukunde, a Congolese national based in Denmark has been arrested by Interpol in Lusaka and charged for Economic and Financial Crimes, Illicit Drugs and Small Arms and Light Weapons.
She said stamped documents supposedly signed by then Inspector General of Zambia Police Service, Stella Libongani and dated 10th October, 2018, further states that with the cooperation of the US Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Inspector General instructed that the suspect be transferred to the United States of America for investigations.
Mrs. Katongo said the suspects, whose names they have withheld for the time being, have been Warned and Cautioned for the Offence of Libel and also Forgery and Uttering False Documents while Investigations in the matter have continued.
Was HH among the perpetrators? He seems to get away with a lot of crimes. Well-done ZP!
Why have some civil servants become so unprofessional, is it police business to inform the public who owns or does not own company A or B. Why not tell the journalist to go and find out from PACRA.
So if those thugs who attempted murder of fellow employee are not employed by Kapyongo, then whos is the owner of the company? Owner must be a PF sympathizer, why is been shield by P.Force?
You will find that people do own companies via proxies.
When someone reports to work drunk, you send them home. And then descipline them.
These security guards should be deployed at state house, so they can do the same to those that report to work drunk.
ha ha ha ha ha this man HH is a problem
The guy reported drunk and misbehaved with his fellow workmates. He deserved to be beaten.
NO ONE deserves to be beaten. No one including you.
That treatment was barbaric.
What if that was your son ?
One or two slaps would have sufficed.
That is what separates from animals.
People educate me on this phrase, ‘uttering a false document ‘. I always think it must be ‘ altering a document ‘ or ‘ falsifying a document ‘. Utter has to do with speech. Please people help me on this.
Uttering and forgery were originally common law offences, both misdemeanours. Forgery was the creation of a forged document, with the intent to defraud; whereas uttering was merely use — the passing — of a forged document, that someone else had made, with the intent to defraud.
Uttering a forged instrument is a criminal offense. When a person knowingly publishes or puts into circulation any forged or altered financial document, legal document or other writing with the intent to misrepresent it as true and defraud others it amounts to uttering a forged instrument.

Uttering is the correct term in this case. Altering means changing while uttering means tendering in this context, so it’s correct to say uttering a false documents usually with intent to defraud
