HH leaving Police Headquarters in Lusaka on Thursday after a five hour questioning
Zambia Police officers remove the body of a government worker who was shot as opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema was being questioned at Police Headquarters.
Sad that the greed of one arrogant and desperate election loser has led to the death of two people. One being a state prosecutor who would have brought proceedings against hh. It’s like hh is sending a message to the state by saying he can clear those that come in his way. All night we have been receiving intelligence on this matter and once the police have fully investigated we will avail our intel to them so that they can use it to facilitate factual investigation. The upnd have really taken this country ransom. We cannot continue like this and something has to give. It seems when you ignore people for long they take that as a sign of weakness. We will now as government apply the Law inflexibly.

You kaiser is evil along with your fellow nincompops.You think we don’t know who the culprit is.Your day is coming.Those who rise by the sword will die by it.Your lack of intelligence drives you to think others are like you.We think. AND WE ARE NOT COWARDS.we pray and God will liberate zambia from blood thirsty crooked politicians like you.Chiluba had thought he would live forever by eliminating his opponents but no his time came.You start violence and blame it on others….We know you.But iqesha izobuya for the reckoning.

Lusaka Times now you’ve become just like Koswe…..why can’t you concentrate on issues that bring development….not this nonsense….stop giving them media attention no wonder people are being killed because the media is inciting violence

PF government has killed its citizens shocking the world and some keyboard chatterbox wants to underplay loss of Zambians lives due to repression, intimidation and suppression of Zambians typical of a police state. We have escalated with IMF and the international community about Zambian lives being expendables to cling to power against the Zambian wishes.

When any leader is going for nominations, functions or summons, it is just normal that his followers will accompany him.This in anyway can never be an offense. And in any case supporters of HH were very harmless to warrant being shot dead.

As both the human rights commission and law Association of Zambia have said they can be no justification for these killings, and because of overzealousness and following wrong orders from a politician, they end up shooting their own prosecutor.

Being trigger happy for absolutely no reason as there was no threat, you shoot your own prosecutor

These PF guys understand the strength of HH, from the pictures deploying all those officers, it’s like they are guarding him even before he assumes office. It is this fear of HH coupled with unprofessionalism that is causing them to kill innocent people.

Someone said they were dispersing them with tear gas, are those Kalashnikovs looking like those tear gas guns with big pipes? A day before someone said police should deal with upnd members if they escort their leader. Here we are today they want investigate a directive they made.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A GOVERNMENT THAT KILLS ITS OWN PEOPLE LIKE THIS. LUNGU MUST FIRE KAMPYONGO,KANGANJA AND LUSAMBO BEFORE ZAMBIANS FIRES HIM TOO. IF HE IS A GENUINE PRESIDENT, HE MUST EXPLAIN WHY DID HE ALLOW POLICE OFFICERS FIRE LIVE BULLETS ON ARMLESS CIVILLIANS WHO WERE ESCORTING THEIR LEADER.
HE MUST EXPLAIN WHY DID HE BUY THESE ARMORY FOR POLICE INSTEADY OF GIVING THEM TO ZAMBIA ARMY?

PF showed how scared they are of this guy. They have raised him above them, by far. This guy will whack lungu pants down. Zambians have been shown the man to fear. Thanks to pf

The INNOCENT POLICE OFICERS are all looking drunk not that they were drunk but following commands against their will

So the assertion here is that the police had 2 live bullets. Shot two people in the head. Not one was shot in the leg. No one glazed by a billed. Only two accurate head shots. I would not be so quick to point fingers at the police. Besides , there was clear instructions to keep crowds away. We have a resegernce of coronavirus in Lusaka right now and someone went ahead and mobilised mobs to take to the police with him over a matter he claims is straight forward and has nothing to hide. Lastly and more importantly… Who benefits the most from the killing?

These guyz should go to mogadishu or syria bakaye inyalalawila, not hear in zambia we dont need this we are not at war. These useless police officers do they know riot or unruly crowd, i think they should ask their friend in other countries. The problem too much utujilijili kapokola, and how can a president be quite, a father two children killed and you are quite? awe bambi bena kuwayaya fye.

Its only in Zambia that showing solidarity to a leader is an offence in the eyes of a minister, that even a life should be lost

Too bad we are losing lives because of political arrogance of the PF and UPND. The dead have left people who depended on them. Neither the PF nor the UPND will replace them in their families.

Followers have a Right to follow and protect their leaders so there is nothing wrong or illegal that supporters did by accompanying HH their Party President to the Police H/Q. After all HH is their only hope for the future. The issue is why did the Police use live ammunition on innocent and unarmed Civilians or Protesters? Why did the Police shoot dead these 2 people? The whole thing is politically motivated. The Police is interfering in a Civil matter which is already b4 the High Court. ZPS should stick to their Lane and leave the Courts to dispense Justice.

How can Tayali move the entire PF government, look now what that kachikkala has caused, death of hardworking citizen.

KAKOMA KANGANJA MUST BE TRIED FOR MURDER BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO SIGNED OFF LIVE AMMUNITION TO BE GIVEN TO THE POLICE.
What di he expect the police to do with the bullets? Shove them up their proverbial?

God save Zambia. We are a peaceful nation and these viscous vehicles and criminal actions don’t belong here. Black lives matter! Why do we tolerate our police who are as bad as US white supremacists????? The law makers and enforcers must be independent to ensure that we remain a peaceful nation. May those selfish few trying to ruin Zambia’s peace for their own gain rot in the worst hell ever.
The pictures of the police armoured vehicles, the first thing that comes to mind is that there is total collapse of peace in the country and war is about to breakout. Why would the police arm themselves in that manner and come out so strong just for HH’s interview? The presence of the police is scary and causes a lot of panic amongst the people. That is not normal and we should be embarrassed of ourselves at the manner we carrying ourselves in Zambia. Be warned and brace yourselves for extremely hard times towards the election. The PF govt is up to no good!

HH planned all this he couldn’t report to the police when he was called but had to organise how it will be , he knew exactly who would be blamed did anyone ask him why he delayed to go to police .
My reasoning tells me that he took this time to be his chance to do what he did .

Don’t be fooled. This is Lungu behind the scenes caught with pants down. Such an operation covering the whole Lusaka using the military equipment and helicopter requires big financing for fuel and manpower logistics including food and allowances. It cannot happen without the release of funds and approval from government. Let the tell us the vast cost.

Come next year , you and Lungu with go to the Haque and you will charged for your crimes against innocent citizens. 2 innocent people were killed yesterday because the police get instructions from you kaiser and Lungu, now you blame UNPd ?you are heartless and ugly just like your souls, come next year mark my…
