ZAMBIANS must rise above any political and other affiliation to condemn violent schemes being allegedly orchestrated by the opposition UPND party for the release of their leader Hakainde Hichilema, says PF media director Sunday Chanda.
In early hours of yesterday a suspended UPND cadre Lloyd Kabaso was apprehended in possession of highly dangerous explosives ear-marked for bombing the buildings in Lusaka Central District (CDB) by alert members of the public.
But police spokesperson Esther Katongo has dispelled assertions circulating on social media linking it to politics and that it was a pure matter of shop breaking.
Mr Chanda said citizen policing like neighborhood watch remained crucial in curbing evil acts by criminals hiding behind the veil of a political agendas.
Lloyd Kabaso was found in possession of suspected dynamite explosives and assorted breaking in implements at the crime scene.
“Kabaso has been on police wanted list for similar offences,” said Ms Katongo.
