Did they find the drugs? key word is suspected. I wonder why they are not raiding the Europeans stealing our minerals?
They were outsmarted. It’s likely info was leaked to the suspect. Some DEC officers are compromised. Why haven’t they raided the long time drug baron of Kitwe? Apart from such dramatized raids, why can’t they mop up the chamba dealers in townships and bus stations? Most secondary school going children now smoke chamba and parents are helpless. Who sells them chamba? There’s also widespread satanism in schools caused by fake prophets. These are vices that are spoiling our children. Don’t sit in your offices and wait for tips
