Congolese Nabbed For Cocaine Trafficking Offences

By on 3 Comments

The Drug Enforcement Commission in Lusaka has arrested a Congolese national for trafficking in cocaine.

Bapabana Kayembe, 29, also known as Evaristo Chisha, a businessman of Plot No. 64/8 Kuomboka Compound has been arrested for trafficking in fifteen (15) rocks and two (02) sachets of cocaine.

The suspect was intercepted at a casino along Kafue road in Lusaka. This is the third time that the suspect has been arrested by the Commission for a similar offence, having been first arrested in 2012 and later in 2013 leading to a sentence of ten years at Mukobeko Maximum Prison where he escaped from custody and temporarily left the country.

And in a similar incident, the Commission has arrested Chileshe Mwape, 36, a businessman of Chibolya Compound in Lusaka District for trafficking in eight (08) rocks of cocaine. The suspect was arrested at a filling station along Kafue road as he was about to transact.

Both suspects are in police custody and will appear in court soon.
