The State has entered a nolle prosequi in a matter where a Lusaka business Executive, Mwangala Ngalande was charged with attempting to overthrow the administration of President Edgar Lungu.
LUSAKA Chief Resident Magistrate, Lameck Mwale discharged Mr Ngalande after the nolle prosequi was entered by the Director of Public prosecutions.
In this matter Mr Ngalande is alleged to have between August 1, 2019 and December 1 2019 at Lusaka jointly and whilst acting together with Samson Njovu, prepared or endeavored to overthrow by unlawful means, the Government of the Republic of Zambia.
And according to Overt Act 1, Ngalande on the same dates allegedly conspired with Njovu to procure military equipment namely assault rife, pistols and rocker propelled grenades.
This was for the purpose of assassinating President LUNGU and other senior Government officials namely, service chiefs, minister of defence , Davies Chama, Chief Justice, Irene Mambilima, Speaker of the National Assembly and Dr Patrick Matibini.
In overt two, it is alleged that on the same date Ngalande conspired with Mr Njobvu to source for international funding and actually obtained 1 point 6 Million United states Dollars to be utilized in the over throwing of the Government of the Republic of Zambia.
And when the matter came up today before Magistrate MWALE, the State said the matter was coming up for continued hearing of preliminary inquiry but the prosecution was in receipt of instructions from the DPP to discontinue the matter through a nolle prosequi.
Mr MWALE granted the State’s application.
Earlier, the defence lawyers had asked the court to constitute preliminary inquiry to establish whether or not there was sufficient evidence to warrant the accused person to be committed to the High Court to under go trial for treason.
More framing attempts will fail going forward…
A forgiving president and humble son of the soil. Lungu understands that most people are paid to do this by the opposition. Rather than wasting time fighting losers we would rather put that money in development projects. Kz
So you saying he his the one who instructs them? We are coming fir you 2021.we will get you even from Zimbabwe
Why start it when you are forgiving. Dont you think everyone is gullible
So Edgar Lungu has power to stop prosecution of people. It follows he has power even to incacerate innocent people, he has power over life and death. Thanks for the information.
This is what happens in a country when vigilantes or gestapos are the enforcers of law, well trained security personnel will thoroughly investigate before they pail charges on you , lack of concrete evidence results in nolle prosequi.
I hope the DPP has thoroughly studied the implication of the nolle prosecue in this matter. I was personally looking forward to knowing the truth. What’s the truth madam DPP? Where’s the US$1.6 million dollars? Who’s holding it? So what happens to the money? Is it a state secret?
Question is, who in the international community paid this much money? sometimes Nolle doesn’t help at all.
All lies , the gassing was part 2 of this stichup to frame Hh , but because the gassing hoax did not go to plan, the part 1 about military weapons and funding looked silly for them…..
Ask them who funded the $1.6 million , they won’t find anyone to collaborate their lies…..
Another failed plot to link a non-existent crime to the opposition. Desperate PF sycophants who will soon be running away with chopped tails.
