Police Nab UPND Cadres for Locking Kalulushi DC Out of Office

Police on the Copperbelt have arrested and charged five UPND cadres for conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace after they allegedly stormed the office of the Kalulushi District Commissioner and changed the locks, preventing a newly appointed DC from accessing the premises.

The incident reportedly occurred on Wednesday when the suspects went to the District Commissioner’s office and altered the locks, claiming they did not want a new DC from outside Kalulushi District to enter the office.

Copperbelt Police Commanding Officer Mwala Yuyi confirmed in a statement that the suspects were apprehended and charged yesterday.

Those charged include Dickson Makeche, 42, of Zone B Kalengwa; Chimbini Mwewa, 45, of North Kalengwa; Netrida Mupeta, 55, of South Kalengwa; Marina Kaira, 36, of Maninga Road; and Alice Chola, 50, of Chimene Street, all residents of Kalulushi.

Police said the five have since been released after paying an admission of guilt.

“Before they were released, warn and caution statements were recorded from them,” Yuyi stated.
