Zambia Police in Muchinga Province has arrested three Patriotic Front cadres who stormed ISO FM in Isoka district last year on May 18.
Muchinga Province Deputy Commissioner of Police MUNKONDYA BUUMBA has confirmed the arrests of the three PF cadres to ZANIS in Chinsali today.
Ms. BUUMBA identified the three as WILLARD KAPILA, MISHECK LUHANGA 56, and JOHN KAPIKU 43, all of Kalemelela Village in Chief Kafwimbi’s Chiefdom.
She added that KAPILA was arrested in Mpika on Tuesday this week where he has been hiding and will be transferred to Isoka where he is expected to be formally arrested and charged with two others who are already in police custody at Isoka police station with
the offense of criminal trespass.
On May 18, 2020 ISO FM featured President Hakainde Hichilema and two other UPND members in the evening.
Suspected PF cadres stormed the radio station and demanded that the programme be stopped immediately.
Disgusting evil behaviour but we are not surprised by it. Remember at one point we were in an alliance with upnd and we saw how evil they were.
A crime is a crime, in Europe now, some people are being arrested for crimes committed over 70 years ago during world war 2, a woman was recently arrested in Germany for having assisted Germany soldiers exterminate jews over 70 years ago, so nothing strange for chaps who were unruly under PF last year to be arrested this year, a crime will remain a crime. We want law and order restored in this country
Law and order being restored, UPND scoring another mile stone. Subsidies removed to restore micro economic stability, no more disorderly conduct in bus stops and markets, ZNBC and public media back to sanity, ZNBC can now even show other parties, cabinet and government tribally balanced, more international good will coming in, slowly orderliness comin, IMF program which PF failed for seven years already bagged. We are very happy with the change we wanted, we know the damage caused by PF was too much and repair will take years
Job well done
Lock them up.
Is this country heading anywhere? This government is all about revenge and nothing else!!
Shame on HH. Indeed this president is an hypocrite.
Arrest all the PF thugs and any thug regardless!! Lock them up and throw the keys away.
Disgusting evil behaviour but we are not surprised by it. Remember at one point UPND were in an alliance with PF and they saw how evil PF were.
Let us cage them all.
Kikikiki
Yaipa bola. Chuwamila ibwa kukata nkuku, nkuku ikati ilye imbwa chaipa. Yabota makani badala.
Is this something to be proud of?
Has this man ever forgiven anyone? I’m scared we have leaders with no human hearts in then
Rule of law or Rule of Revenge ba HHH
Did anyone get hurt, or was property damaged? For petty transgressions as this one, I would forgive & move on. True Christianity never espoused tit for tat.
#plant a tree now please
DO A CRIME DO THE TIME
Please arrest these criminals, and don’t forget the ones who attacked Sean Zero in cairo road
So these same New DAWN, it’s focus is just about arresting those in opposition and intimidate them? Was this used to happen even with the previous govts. This’s worrying now coz it’s bringing down the reputation of the country. ??
What people forget is that revenge has no end… because tomorrow someone else will also want to revenge. These guys should just be counselled. These guys were excited yesterday, today you are excited tomorrow it will be someone else. That’s why in RSA instead of revenge they went for reconciliation.
The way I see things, it will now be an open check for Upnd members to use against anyone they have differed with.
Remember that upnd is a one term party, so they should be prepared to be treated like this soon. Just look at how excited some hyenas have become like Larry mweetwa.. Next time I see that boy I will beat some sense into his big head
Kaiser just ensure you have a single mattress as the prison will be your home mbuya
HH has started doing wrong things too early I just wonder what will happen when he is fully established what he will be doing , power can drive people to extremes, we shall keep watching him however the signs are not good they are all pointing in the wrong direction.
They will meet their BOSS Kapyongo. More are to follow. Finally will be the big FISH.. Kafupi had spent year trying to clear his name, eventually the devil recalled him with a thief tag.
Deja Vu – Absolutely its something to be proud of even those thugs who interrupted BUFFOON CK at a radio live phone-in when he was in opposition should followed up and arrested. We know you take a cavalier approach to crime given that you already confised on LT that you were involved in hit and run where you refused to pay the third party only after being ordered by the court did you cough up.
Look at the UK based impostor..it knows where to find Larry in the UK where it lives..go and visit him..let see what you will do.
Criminal contempt of court by HH in 2017 is going to be litigated in time as well
Upnd f00ls are proud of the arrests being made.
All these arrests were pre-planned. The only person who cannot forgive is a s@t@n1st.
WHAT ABOUT THE KILLING OF PF MEMBER ON ELECTION DAY IN NORTH WESTERN PROVINCE ANY ARRESTS, THE DESTRUCTIONB HOMES AND EXPULSION OF NON-TONGA SPEAKING IN SOME PARTS OF SOUTH PROVINCE AFTER 2015 ANY ARRESTS, THE STORMING OF A RADIO STATION WHEN PF CAMPAIGN WAS IN MONZE AND FORCED TO RUN AWAY ANY ARRESTS.
SELECTED JUSTICE IS CRIMINAL. ALL ARE EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW.
SEEING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN A FEW MONTHS WE MUST BE READY …
This is fine. It became a brazen practice by cadres of doing wrong things openly. The many times I was almost run off the road by maniacally driven cadre vehicles is unbelievable. Whatever anyone says, we need to set this example so no one thinks they can get away with illegality any time. Most folk just want to live their lives without even the bother of a political allegiance.
The new dark government started arresting Ministers who were MPs in respective constituencies. Now they are arresting PF cadres, next will be anyone wearing PF regalia.
I want to advise HH and his government that success will be measured when the cost of living is bearable even for an ordinary Zambian
He brought Kajoba from archives so that he can handle cases from archives. A modern police officer will not accept cases from archives.
#25 You are wasting your time. The guys in Solwezi have actually dissolved in the population and nobody is talking about them. Maybe after August 2026 they will be arrested physically or posthumously.
HH has a small, unforgiving heart. Look at late Nelson Mandela who was in prison for 25 years at the hands of the racist South African regime. Look at late Robert Mugabe who was imprisoned for 10 years by Ian Smith’s regime. Both men lost a greater part of their lives but came out without following the crimes committed against them. But here we have a President whose radio programme was disrupt by mere cadres who trespassed on the premises of a radio station and HH decides to go for these poor souls. It says a lot about HH. There was a PF cadre who was brutally killed with sticks in NG’OMBE township by UPND cadres just after elections and we are not hearing anything about this. Yet an entire President follows cadres who tried to disrupt his radio programme. At the rate we are going, I…
I just wonder what will become of Zambia after UPND leaves power and the seed of vengeance has been planted and allowed to grow into a society that cries for vengeance. Those who feel ill-treated by UPND now will also want to exact vengeance on UPND.
Im really surprised at *****s calling this shame- ati shame on you this is revenge… sure someone broke the law and you pf stooges here shamelessly call this revenge. Grow up you are the same people taking this country backwards pf bloggers here are a disgrace.
Kaiza Zulu should be arrested , New Dawn should arrest this stupid man
Former President Mr Rupia Banda should counsel this HH the revenging president. Too bitter and in sda church they say revenge as a christian. Shameful
What does this story tell us about Zambia Police?
What we all need to know is that most of these crimes were reported to the police but the PF bosses did not allow the cases to be prosecuted and tried because they involved their own people. Now the tables have turned and they will and are being revisited. You cannot commit a crime and expect to be let scot free, yes a lot of people will complain but this will set as an example to the current cadres. Behave yourselves and if anybody shields you, time will come when you will no longer be shielded.
@kaizer zulu, that pf messenger of death & all the holocaust cadres must be arrested. We had in Zambia a political party full of this and criminals , all from a country’s Nazi party. These must never get bail.
@kaizer zulu,
FYI, In 2026 who will even care about the PF.
In fact , the final nail in PF’s coffin will come at their next so called “convention”. I can confidently predict a major split.
You will have the ECL supporters camp on one side and another faction.
There after , we will see court injunction after injunction until kingdom come.
Ubupuba pa Zed. Who told you that arresting criminals is revenge? So you want criminals to go free and continue their criminal behavior. If you cannot do the time, don’t do the crime!
This is good but police should also arrest the upnd cadres who stormed Mpika FM radio station when they were featuring a PF mp just last month. This will show if police are truly neutral under upnd.
Cage the thugs, ………….
let this be a lesson to all……….
If your party is in GRZ , don’t be used to commit crimes………
Can we step up with the arrests pleas……..
If you don’t want to do the time, don’t do the crime. These chaps were arrested by the Police, and not by HH. So why are you blaming HH? If he was to intervene, you would again accuse him of obstructing justice, and dictating what the police should do. Tamwakwate chisuma imwe ba mambala ba PF.
This a very good move, if we allow these thugs by the name of cadres to act as they wish we are doomed as a nation. Everyone must know at “ umulandu taubola” HH will tell us how he undervalued some of our National assets and later purchased them with his colleagues including one of the chiefs from Southern province.
