‘Armed’ Rainbow Party Members Arrested
MUBANGA NONDO, Ndola
POLICE in Luwingu have arrested two suspected Rainbow Party members for alleged unlawful possession of a pistol.
John Siame, 37, and Peter Kashala, 30, both of Lusaka, were apprehended on Sunday around 11:00 hours at Big Brother bar in Lubansenshi.
Northern Province acting commissioner of police Lackson Sakala said in an interview yesterday that police have recovered a 4.5 millimetre calibre firearm with 12 rounds of ammunition.
“I can confirm that we arrested two suspected Rainbow Party cadres for allegedly being in illegal possession of a firearm. The duo came from Lusaka to drum up support for the party candidate in the nominations for the Lubansenshi parliamentary by-election,” Mr Sakala said.
He said police have charged Siame and Kashala with unlawful possession of a firearm.
Mr Sakala said the duo was apprehended after some patrons at Big Brother bar alerted police officers upon discovering that one of them had a gun in the back pocket of his trousers.
He said police have detained Siame and Kashala and they will appear in court today.

I’m wondering how two people can be charged jointly for possession of one firearm. The story clearly states that one man had the gun In his back pocket. Tumfweko are your facts correct, if they are let the authorities investigate thoroughly because definitely one guy will be acquitted if the matter goes to court.

Why arresting the two for one gun? These police officers are oppostion members. They always provide ba opposion with campaign materials when they deviate from lawful procedures.
Keep an eye on them. They like complicating things to do with the opposition.
They pretend to be on the pf side but on the other side causing more harm than good. Kapokola wamano ayabi kwati nimbwa ya kumushi.
