Unidentified people yesterday broke into former press aide to President Edgar Lungu, Amos Chanda’s car and stole four title deeds for his properties, K64, 000 cash, a diplomatic passport, laptop, and other important documents he wanted to take to his lawyer.
Chanda said all documents the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) were demanding for during a search that was conducted on his three properties were stolen from his car on Thursday evening after a break in at a restaurant in the Kabulonga area.
He explained that he was taking the documents and money to pay his lawyers when the incident happened.
“Surprisingly, these are the documents that the ACC wanted when they came to search my properties. I wanted to take them to my lawyer and as I was chatting with him at a restaurant, my car was broken into and my diplomatic passport, laptop, four title deeds for his properties, K64, 000 cash, Covid certificate, ZRA TPN certificate, and other important documents were stolen,” he said.
Chanda said he reported the matter at Kabwata Police Station and the matter was transferred to Woodlands Police Station.
Meanwhile, Chanda said he had written to the ACC Director-General complaining that the search by officers was conducted unfairly as he was threatened of drastic action by one of the investigators holding a pistol.
He said unlike what was reported by some media organisations, he was cooperating fully with the security wings to search his properties though under protest because it was illegal as the search warrant was indicating another property but instead they forced their way onto his property.
Chanda said the raid was illegal because whereas the warrant had his name, the plot indicated was not his.
He also said he was about 45 minutes away when the officers called him to get to the farm within 10 minutes.
He explained that the officers searched his farm on Njolwe and State Lodge area as well as his residence in Woodlands, but did not yield anything.- Daily Nation
Someone has to correct the rot that the country has endured since the birth of the Independence dream and no matter what, critics will thrive with different opinions! In the current Zambian situation it is all in partisan lines and not helpful! How convenient to Chanda that the thieves struck at the eleventh hour! Hard cash transactions when banking has striven to make it much easier right in the palm of one’s hands! By the way what’s the man still holding a diplomatic passport?
Insults and hatred have become their defence mechanism in doing evil.
Any one who differs with them is an enemy, that is not how humanity should live.
You cannot expect every one to agree with you!
All human beings under this sun make mistakes.
Now this country is being ruled by demons from hell!
To them they can’t do anything wrong no critics no, no opposition it is stinking dictatorship of the worst colours.
