Six armed robbers shot and robbed a Chililabombwe businessman of Kamenza East, making away with US$90,000, a pistol and an iPhone 17 Pro Max valued at K49,000.
The victim, Abram Mukuka, 34, a father of five, was shot in the left leg during the attack, and the bullet remains lodged in his leg. The suspects also fled in his Toyota Hilux registration number AGC 2398, which was later found dumped on Kaoma Street in Chililabombwe.
According to Mr Mukuka, the incident began when his son spotted men hiding in a nearby maize field as he was opening the gate for him to drive into the yard. The armed suspects then emerged and attacked.
Mr Mukuka said he was shot in the leg as he attempted to grab his pistol from his other vehicle which was parked inside the yard. After he was shot and fell to the ground, his daughter tried to fight off one of the robbers during the struggle.
He said the attack appeared to have been planned, as the assailants were masked and wearing reflective jackets. He also observed that one of the suspects had a hand with missing fingers.
Mr Mukuka has since been taken to Nchanga South Hospital in Chingola for treatment to have the bullet removed.
The matter has been reported to police, and investigations are ongoing.
$ 90,000 Cash ???
So Zambia is going the same way of crime ridden dangerous South Africa?
Quick recovery to Bwana Mukuka and fast apprehension of those blood thirsty crooks.
