Failed Blackmail Attempt Lands Municipal Traffic Cops In Jail
Published: 2016 February 25 05:29:54 (4882 Views)
Municipality police who wanted to blackmail a kombi driver into dropping charges against their friend landed in hot soup after their plan was foiled and received 18 months imprisonment for abusing their office.
Pardon Chifanza (26), Talent Mujere (25), Gerald Marwa (32) and Alpha Muzvidzwa (59) were found guilty of conducting corrupt dealings and abuse of office.
It is alleged that a driver with the commuter omnibus company in question, had caused the arrest of Kosam Ngoma, a council traffic officer, and his colleagues went on to the streets to hunt down the vehicle on a revenge mission.
The 4 man syndicate threw spikes on the vehicle before towing it away without issuing any traffic ticket or informing the crew of the offence.
In terms of Statutory Instrument 104 of 2005 of the Harare (Clamping and Town Away) By-Laws, 2005, no motor vehicle can be clamped or immobilised without a ticket being issued.
The vehicle was towed to Harare Central Stores where it was detained.
When the case was reported to the police, the four sought cover under unsatisfactory claims that the vehicle was obstructing the free flow of traffic in the city.
