AN illegal miner has been shot in the buttocks by a security guard after he was found illegally mining in Chingola.
The incident happened on Friday around 15:00 hours at old Luano open pit mine in Kapisha.
Copperbelt commissioner of police Joyce Kasosa confirmed the incident in an interview from Ndola yesterday.
Ms Kasosa said Jackson Muchape, 37, of D15 Kapisha was allegedly found mining by Edingtone Sikazwe, a security guard with Target security firm.
“When the security guard saw the illegal miner, he shot him on the left buttock,” Ms Kasosa said.
Muchape is admitted to hospital for treatment.
Ms Kasosa said Muchape is out of danger and will be charged with criminal trespass.
Meanwhile, a 24-year-old woman of Kaloko Township in Ndola has been arrested for allegedly dumping her new-born daughter in a pit latrine.
Ms Kasosa said Dorothy Kumwenda allegedly dumped the baby yesterday around 11:00 hours.
“When members of the public heard the baby crying, they mobilised themselves and retrieved it alive from the pit latrine,” Ms Kasosa said.
The baby is currently, to Arthur Davison Children’s Hospital.
Ms Kasosa said the matter is under investigation and the suspect is remanded in custody.

Why NOT shoot Argawal (KCM chairman)who is stealing from the whole nation than shooting one zambian who is trying to fend for his family due economical hardships we have been subjected to.
