Share

Inspector-General of Police Kakoma Kanganja has revoked the firearm license for Maxwell Kyamba popularly known as “Tablet” of Chingola on the Copperbelt and detained the gang leader pending investigation for various offenses.

Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo said that the action to revoke the licenses is in accordance with the firearm regulation that prevents misuse of firearms by a member of the public.

Speaking at a press briefing, Ms. Katongo, who also displayed the other firearms confiscated from others, said the exercise is ongoing as police is mandated to regulate the acquisition and usage of firearms.

She further urged the public to report all individuals who may be mishandling their firearms to the police.

And, Zambia Police Chief Inspector Senior Firearm Records Officer, James Kanini said the gun which Kyamba was brandishing is not an automatic military gun.

  1. IG, just make sure there are no negotiations for their release including Spax. They must be tried genuinely and locked up for gassing once and for all. They and their sponsors must pay for all those 59+ innocent citizens killed by anti gassing rioters. If those arrested criminals are released then we will know who their sponsors are.

  6. we need commandos clean up through out the country to flash out bad elements who want bring anarchy in our country.IG please on this one be proactive act swiftly and fast before it is too late.

  7. You are free to open up a docket against me. If you allege I did what you say I did then ensure you have evidence and report it. Why has that not been done. If chiluba was taken to court what can stop you from taking a common man like me if you had evidence?

  8. Ba IG,your last statement has sold you out. Who had asked you about the type of a weapon Kyamba was using? You are now ashamed that Spax has been brandishing military weapon to the public which no private person is supposed to have. WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE SOURCE OF SPAX MILITARY WEAPON!!

    • THEY TYPE OF WEAPONS SPAX AND TABLET ARE USING ARE NOT MILITARY GUNS. GO TO KANELE ARMS IN LUSAKA YOU WILL FIND THOSE SEMI-AUTOMATIC SHOTGUNS WITH ALL ASCESORIES. I BOUGHT ONE IN AUGUST 2019 AND IT LOADS 12 BULLETS WITH SEMI-AUTOMATIC FUNCTION. IT IS REGISTERED WITH THE POLICE AND I HAVE A PERMIT FOR IT. TO THE LAYMAN’S EYE THE GUN LOOKS MILITARY.
      BOTH SPAX AND TABLET WERE BLANDISHING THEIR WEAPONS AND POSTING VIDEOS OPENLY BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT THEY OWNED THOSE WEAPONS LEGALLY; BUT THEY GOT ARRESTED FOR WRONGFUL USE OF A LEGALLY OWENED WEAPON. THREATENING VIOLENCE IS NOT PROTECTION.

    • WHY ARE YOU FALLING IN THE TRAP TO BELIEVE THAT THE BLOGGER GOING BY THE NAME KAIZER ZULU IS THE REAL KAIZER ZULU.
      I KNOW THE KIND OF LANGUAGE THAT KAIZER USES AND IT IS FAR FROM THE ONE I SEE HERE.
      BY THE WAY KAIZER HAS NO TIME TO SPEND ON THIS FORUM – HE HAS SOME SERIOUS BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO.

    • If u get an opportunity shoot this loud mouthed mamabala…Kaizer Zulu in the leg… Don’t kill him plz, just serious injure the bas.turd .
      It should b good enough to keep this i.diot of a f.ool away for at least up to Dec 2021

  9. Thank you ZP. For the first time i am comforted by our men and women in uniform. Hon. Kampyongo gave another commendable statement which resounded positively on our ZP. That is how leaders should come out. Condemning violence during elections is another step to take because it is also criminal to perpetrate it. Let us not hide in politics while our society is deteriorating morally.

  10. The police should be very careful with the way they handle the Jerabos on the Copperbelt. These guys are men of the people, they help so many people in need the same way Pablo Escobar helped the poor in Columbia. Do not say I did not warn you.

  11. KZ,REMEMBER ON HOW U SLAPPED THAT POLICE OFFICER,WHAT U DID AT CHITA LODGE IN KAFUE, THAT BUS DRIVER U BEAT AND IT IS IN THE PUBLIC EYE ETC.THEY ARE ALOT OF CRIMES YOU HAVE COMMITTED BOSS.JUST THAT U FEEL YOU ARE ABOVE THE LAW BUT UNDER THIS EARTH THEY IS NO PERMANENT SITUATION.. DON’T THINK THAT US ZAMBIANS ARE NOT VIGILANT ON ALL YOUR DOINGS. YOU,HAVE COMMITTED ALOT OF BAD THINGS AND THE CHANGE OF GOVT IT WILL MAKE U HUMBLE AND REGRET. Nostradamus ,THIS MAN KZ IS STILL AT STATE HOUSE.

  12. THE SLAPPING OF THE POLICE OFFICER DURING THE UNDER 20 AFRICA CUP AT HEROES STADIUM IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CAF,FIFA AND H.E. THE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA DR. ECL.

  13. This spax, I hear he hasn’t been charged. Seems like you know what we say kind of case. Anyway, can’t the police charge him, and this tablet too, start a court process then enter a nolle, so that’s it’s easy to rearrest them in future provided more evidence is gathered.
    Better yet, keep them on pretext of that unbailable crime that requires one be detained for 90 days without charge.

  14. @Patriotic Zambian: Your comment leaves much to be desired. How do you support illegality by saying they are men of the people? Really is that the best you can say proudly. Don’t create monsters who will harm you later. Power goes to peoples brains such that they start thinking they are untouchable. The Jerabos have done more harm than good. I will not be surprised if these guys actually have a significant hand in deteriorating of the economy due to their illegal activities choking the legit businesses in those areas.

  15. Zambia police should be given space to do their work without the interference of apa mwambas.
    And the flushing out of these suspects from their comfort zones is the best way to go.
    This is the same approach the USA has taken on drugs lords in Central and South America.
    If ex Panamanian president Emmanuel Noriega was handed over to the panama in authorities in 1988he wouldn’t have served time in prison.
    El, chapo had the Mexican police and politicians on his pay roll.
    He was tried in New York and now serving a life sentence.
    Arresting and detaining these jerabos in kitwe or chingola is not a good idea.
    And if found guilty, transfer such people to do their prison time in a prison in mongu, mwense, mbala etc, it will break them down completely and make them think completely…

  16. I am wondering: Could this be a sign that the Police are finally taking back their power? Is there anything to read into this? These guys have been monkeying around including wining and dining with the upper echelons of our country with impunity. This charge should have happened several months ago.

    • Kalok very good observation and hope it is as you think. The powers that be have realized the Zambians are now wide awake and are making comparisons to today and to before. They are letting go of excess weight as 2021 looms large. They are cleansing their approach and acts. Never have we witnessed such impunity and lawlessness in this country before. A snap shot just go to Intercity in Lusaka and a very good example of lawlessness awaits you. As it is happening the police look away as if nothing is taking place

  17. 100% P.F CADRES BEING ROPED IN FOR G@SS!NG /T3RR0RISM, though some th!ck as P!g 2h!t P.F Cadres were accusing H.H.
    P.F has brought State sponsored t3rr0rism against its own citizens, directed right from State House, & managed by the incompetent ex K@t0ndo Street “ILLEGAL” currency dealer short bread (Ch!mp)y0ngo!
    Lastly, P.F, KUYABEBELE!

  18. For those that are rightly demanding Commandos from the Zambia Defence Forces carry out a cleanup, unfortunately this is “Wishful Thinking”
    * Firstly, we don’t have a proper decisive President in the mould of K.K in State House today. We have a Drunken Playboy who’s only preoccupation once he rises from bed in the morning, is to open a fresh bottle of Jameson Whiskey, put on the Juke box & start dancing Kwasa kwasa, Kanselele & Funkutu!
    Once he’s totally inebriated about 16.00hrs, he will direct his advisors to explore where he can fly to in that Jet.
    * All the Weapons, lethal automatic firearms given to Cadres, Jerab0z, are supplied directly from either State House, or Home Affairs dept.
    THIS IS UNFORTUNATELY THE CALIBRE OF LEADERSHIP IN ZED TODAY!
    Lastly, P.F, KUYABEBELE!

  19. Zambia is a horrible country to live in at the moment!! I have never seen such lawlessness to the extent where the likes of Kaiza Zulu are let to roam the streets freely after all those transgressions he committed against defenseless citizens… I wouldn’t like to be a leader in Zambia unless all the law statutes are revisited and amended to streamline powers of the president and his so called advisers so that the general public can hold them to account for anything they do outside the law!!
