THREE Police officers have been nabbed and jointly charged for being in possession of over K2 million counterfeit notes by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) in Lusaka.
In a statement made available to the Daily Nation, DEC public relations officer, Theresa Katongo said the three were captured in Lusaka’s Chelston Township when they were about to transact.
Ms Katongo identified the three as Chief Inspector Maybin Kasezya, 43, of Chelston Police Station, Inspector Maureen Nawa, 45, also of Chelston Police Station and Sergeant Joyford Mambe, 29, of Nakonde Police Station who was believed to have been the carrier of the contraband.
“The suspects are currently in police custody and will appear in court soon,” Ms Katongo said.
She added that the DEC wished to strongly caution the public to familiarise themselves with features of the Zambian Kwacha.
