POLICE have warned members of the public that are calling for the unlawful assembly at the Drug Enforcement Commission( DEC) following the Summoning of Former First Lady Esther Lungu.
Inspector General of police Lemmy Kajoba said it’s a normal practice for law enforcement agencies when making an inquiry to call someone for an interview.
He warned individuals planning to accompany the Fomer First Lady that they’re doing a disservice to her as they will be committing an offence of unlawful assembly.
Mr Kajoba said his office is aware of the recordings were well known people are challenging, wanting to beat the police and planning to cause mayhem by bringing students from the Copperbelt.
“ Youths are thus advised not to be used as tools to disruptpeace.As Zambia Police Service, we shall not allow any person to break the law with impunity instead we shall deal with the perpetrators individually. We’ve mobilised enough force to deal with those wanting to break the law with impunity, ” he said.
Mr Kajoba disclosed that enough officers have been stationed on the route from Copperbelt to Lusaka or any other to ensure that no bus or vehicle carrying suspected protesters will be allowed to come to Lusaka and cause mayhem.
He said police will instead impound and detain the occupants of the said vehicles.
