Chinsali Police Nab 5, Recover 2 Guns
POLICE in Chinsali have arrested five suspected robbers and recovered two fire- arms from them after they allegedly staged a robbery last Tuesday at Paul Mushindo University and brutally beat two policemen who were on duty.
Muchinga Province commissioner of police Auxensio Daka said the aggravated robbery happened around 00:47 hours at the university construction site.
“The motive of the criminals was to steal from the Chinese construction team which they suspected to have had money. This is the third time there has been a robbery at the site, hence officers have been deployed to guard the premises,” Mr Daka said.
He said two police officers only identified as constable Chilufya and constable Mwandu who were guarding the institution were brutally beaten by the armed robbers.
“Constable Mwandu sustained two deep cuts in the head and suspected fractured left hand. Chilufya sustained bruises on both hands,” he said.
Mr Daka said the robbers were armed with a shot gun and, and stole an AK47 rifle serial number 2417 with 28 rounds of ammunition.
He said investigations led the police to the recovery of the stolen police firearm and the shot gun the suspects allegedly used in the robbery.
“The two firearms were found in the house of a police reserve officer of Skills Compound in Chinsali,” Mr Daka said.
The police commissioner said the reserve police inspector is also a teacher at Chinsali Prisons School.
He said the suspects had used a Toyota Noah when carrying out the robbery.
Mr Daka said police apprehended Shula Chanda, 38, a peasant farmer of Kawama village, Daniel Chimbala, 35, a teacher and Moses Chishimba, 28, of Lubwa, who is a carpenter at Paul Mushindo University.
He said others are Benard Mwaba Kapolyo, 39, of Maluba village and Osward Mutale, 26, of Seed Farm in Chinsali.
Mr Daka said the suspects are in police custody pending further police action.

You build universities to try and better people’s lives but it backfires because deep down these were political moves. When the record of basic education is poor in chinsali then how many will graduate and attend university there. All they see when they look at that university is an opportunity to steal desks computers and what not. Pf is a joke

Is this university only meant to serve the people of Chinsali or Zambia as a whole?

The question is what is the sense in creating a new university in an area that does not have the demand and yet fail to renovate the current unza and cbu. You are failing to manage old universities so you see it wise to build a new one. Do you now see why i say that this was a poltiical move meant to appease voters?

Are those genuine police officers or PForce cadres, who can’t even defend themselves, no wonder they are only good at enforcing the POA on opposition parties, a trained police officer can’t lose a firearm like that, stop recruiting cadres imwe.

Nez you are indeed a useless upnd cadre with no better plans for Zambia. So to you universities should only piled up in Lusaka and Copper belt? Such institutions are needed in most parts of Zambia you foolish lag. How do intend to develop this country with your tribalist hh if you oppose to new universities? Hopeless cadre!

You start new projects when you failing to manage current university. And you think you will manage new ones. That is what we call madness.

@kOPALA fACTS. You are wrong on suggesting that you will these ZP more money. These people are getting more money than most of us. Nearly all police men are driving and building. Receiving bribes has not abetted in spite of their salaries hiked. Street patrols are non existence even though they are given transport.
