The United Church of Zambia (UCZ) in Northern Province has partnered with the Zambia Police to sensitise members of the church on the dangers of taking the law into their own hands.
UCZ Northern Presbytery Bishop, Maybin Mulenga said this is in view of the mob killings experienced across the country were people suspected to be behind the reported gassing have been brutally murdered.
Speaking to ZANIS in an interview in Kasama, Bishop Mulenga said the church is concerned with mob justice that people are perpetrating, which is also alien to the country’s culture and beliefs.
The clergy has also expressed fear that the gruesome murders of people could have a negative impact on the 2021 general election campaigns.
Bishop Mulenga has since directed all Reverends under his jurisdiction in Northern Province to welcome the police officers sent to sensitize church members on the matter.
And Northern Province Police Commissioner, Richard Mweene has confirmed the development, saying this is aimed at intensifying security, and bring to book all those suspected to be behind the reported gassing in communities.
Commissioner Mweene has since implored other churches to come on board and partner with the police in order to fight the scourge.
Ucz for you full of cadres this church
This is good initiative because these mob thugs are the devil themselves. I have advised cabinet to introduce stringent laws to tackle this vice

Christianity is not foreign to Africa it in fact started in Africa and for long before Christianity you will find that Abraham was moving into Africa when ever there problems in his land.
Jacob Israel came to live in Africa when his son Joseph was prime minister In Africa.
The Lord Jesus as a baby came to Africa to take refuge when he was in danger of being killed.
Moses was raised up in Africa and studied in Africa It is wrong to say that Christianity was brought to Africa by any one individual race or nation or person The true living God is not a stranger to Africa.
When you lack knowledge better keep quiet because you just expose your ignorance
Perfect research, thank you for the point brought forward. Big 5.
Very wise Bishop not these self annointed “prophets” /profits who added to the hysteria by speaking more on the alledged gassing then condemning mob attacks just so that they become more popular and appeal to the masses which only made the situation worse.
UCZ remains the voice of reason in the nation not these superstitious cult like fake pentecostal churches which can cause anarchy.
