  1. Gassers should be the prime targets. They are the ones who have brought about these crimes. And the news we are looking forward to hearing is that gassers have started appearing in court

    • No no only gassers. The people who commited crime taking advantage should also face death penalty for murder. This is great

    • Meant not only. its crazy to think like that man. These are criminals who took advantage of a bad situation. Good. Lock them up

  2. I don’t understand how the secret service failed to detect something so big and covering just about the whole country. Where were they looking? Are they even fit for purpose? Wht distracted them? These questions need honest answers.

  3. This is the most lazy Police Force on the Planet. The best you can do is to arrest people defending themselves from Gassers.

    So how come these people you are arresting are able to catch the Gassers, but you the Police the failing? When it comes to roadblocks and getting money from people you don’t fail.

  7. Very good, ZP. These animals should be convicted and sent to jail. No one or law gives any citizen the right to be police, judge and executioner.

  11. You cannot burn a suspect since not yet proved guilt!!!!!!!!!! What if you are burning an innocent person you become worse than than gasser……….. Continue arrest ZP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. @zedian what a brilliant comment i have read so far. Some things we pretend are not happening only affects us if it is our member of family, close friends or somebody around our compounds.
    Am positive if Zambia was first to under go illnesses like coronavaries we were going to deny and call it politics. So scary a country we live.

  13. This is how I see it. The government is failing to contain the situation because this is the chaos it wants created. It will then declare a state of emergency as an excuse to contain the chaos. No elections can be held during a state of emergency and viola! – this government will stay for as long as it wants. My opinion and yes, every one has one. I do think most Zambians will agree with me. You cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

  14. Corrupt and incompetent police officers have a long history of being protected by their colleagues, police internal affairs and the government.
