President Sata,has praised the defence and security personnel for restoring peace and order in Central Province’s Luano Valley.
On Monday afternoon, Zambia Army officers in collaboration with other defence and security personnel gunned down the once elusive Mailoni brothers, who have terrorized the area since 2007. The notorious trio was killed while resisting authorities in an operation.
This is contained in a press statement made available to the media by George Chellah Special Assistant to the President press and public relations.

“As Commander-in-Chief, I salute our gallant forces for executing this operation with dedication and precision. As a government, we will continue using all the resources at our disposal to safeguard the country’s peace and security,” President Sata said.

“In view of the fact that peace has been restored in Luano Valley, I encourage my brothers and sisters to put the traumatic past behind, get back, live and work hard to create a better Zambia for all.”

    • No they were not. My relatives were human beings and they deserved to be respected. These men killed mercilessly. Chaona Mzako Chapita Mawa chili pali iwe!

    • It would have been nice to know why they turned killers so that we align the wrongs and prepare for copycat future happenings (as much as i pray that my land never experience such brutal killings of innocent people by evil people like these brothers ever again…AMEN)…as it stands, all we know is that these brothers turned killers and died by their acts…relatives of the decreased will never know why their beloved ones perished and the govt. has lost out in remedying a cure for protecting its people in the Luano Valley and the country at large…a greater tragedy in my humble opinion…

    • Mbiji their own mother has described them as WILD ANIMALS. Have you ever seen a wild animal standing trial in a court of law?

    • Ba Mbiji, kindly update us on where Osama was tried from, when he was sentenced to dead because all we head was that he was dead. Perhaps we can also explain to you exactly what transpired with the Mailon

    • Q1, answer is yes.
      Q2, answer is no.

      Did they take their victims to trial in courts of law, angu ku mfumu? You answer that question.

    • WELL DONE ZAMBIA ARMY. IF THESE WERE ALLOWED TO APPEAR BEFORE COURT THEY WERE GOING TO HIRE CORRUPT LAWYERS LIKE SAKWIBA TO DRAG THE CASES JUMPING FROM NO EVIDENCE TO INVALID WITNESSES ETC.

  1. Imwe ba mbiji lets put it in this way. Lets say these criminal want to kill you in the bush and the soldiers rescue you by gunning them down, would you say that is bad. If you say yes then there must be something wrong with you. Where you going to be happy if these people killed one of the officers in the operation? For Gods sake those were dangerous criminals.

    • The armed forces are professionals and know how to ‘immobilize’ opponents without necessarily killing them.Alleged Murders are human beings who still deserve to face a judge and give their side of the story.Even Saddam Hussein got a fair trial…If not why not go on a killing rampage and kill all criminals and create some much needed space in prisons?

  2. These criminals took innocent lives and tey deserve what they got finally.Taking them to court would have been a waste of resources.An eye for en eye ,period!!

  3. Where the victims the Mailoni brothers killed not humanbeings, did they get any fairness when they where shoot dead by the hands of the Mailoni brothers? I think NOT!

  4. Job well done I think aba pakubashika kulefwaikwafye na mazembe pakuti yabashika bwino so that even on judgement day they should not rise. Aba bali ipingula kale no need for god to judge then because they never realised that there is God. Mwe bantu bali ipaya sana abantu abakaele. May their sould rest in pieces and never to see God.

  5. Iwe ci mbinji are you one of the mailoni brothers or nephews. If you want you can go to hell with them

  6. ”As a government, we will continue using all the resources at our disposal to safeguard the country’s peace and security,” President Sata said UKWA PLEASE, BE SERIOUS, SAFEGUARD THE CONTRY’S PEACE, MY FOOT WHEN EVERY YEAR YOU RELEASE MUKOBEKO CRIMINALS INTO THE STREETS OF ZAMBIA. deal with the main cases of killings going on in the country. WAKE UP UKWA

  7. They were human beings but treated unfairly i heard the guys were from a royal family and it so happened that their father died when they were little boys so the man who took in the throne refused to relinquish power wen they became of age to rule their kingdom and that was how they they embarked on that jney fighting for their birth right.

  8. Mbiji, just shut-up.Don’t you know these brothers had no mercy? We are still crying for our relatives who also deserved to live with us,family members.Bravo 3ZR

  9. Phany,check your head.Chainama is there for you.You never lost a brother from those animals,so you better keep quiet,otherwise the curse will be on you.

  10. Human rights are for everyone. What the
    Army did was wrong. They should have
    faced trial first. The executions should
    stop. Amnesty should act.

    • You are very dull. Under the circumstances, I wish to congratulate the gallant soldiers for shooting on SIGHT ! Ivyo vana human rights nivako mwana. Those chaps killed people in cold blood. You can sponsor their embalming with ZAMBEEF if you are so affected. Chiiimbwi iwee

  11. Where was the justice for the relatives when the Mailoni brothers died a quick unceremonious death?Wouldn’t it have been better to take them to a maximum prison-make them hear how they have made so many people suffer.Wouldn’t it have been better to let them be sentenced to hang and wait in Mukobeko not knowing when.Perhaps before that being given a chance to repent and apologize.Wouldn’t it have been better to learn why they lived the way they did so that we are better equipped to nip such behaviors in the bud when we see young boys going down a similar path?Wouldn’t that have been better to ensure that the victims didn’t die in vain?

    • @mbiji. SO YOU WANTED THE STATE TO PROVIDE FREE ACCOMMODATION, FOOD AND CLOTHING FOR THESE MAILONO BROTHERS AT MUKOBEKO WHEN MANY LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS ARE STARVING? IS THAT JUSTICE?

  12. Honestly, does it require a battalion of soldiers and a squad of commandoes to kill
    three boys with bows and arrows?
    These boys could have been apprehended without firing a single shot. I question the calibre of our police force , or police shambles ; perhaps they should include a bit of witchcraft in the Lilayi police curriculum,
    The fear and respect for juju by African soldiers make them a mismatch against white opponents.

    • Iwe dont expose your ignorance online ! Do you know that a Battalion is over 2300men ? Who told you the whole barracks moved ? Who told you it was Commandos who carried out the Operation ? Learn to ask first before you place your ugly fingers on a keyboard

  13. they went the same way Osama bin laden went infact they were supposed to be buried on the lake like laden

  14. What of ZNS kampasa killing?will it remain scot free?

    Ya! they did well to get rid of these dangerous Seariol killers.If Mushala was killed
    what about these?We hear these mailonis had juju they would disappear in thin air when pursued by security agents.

  15. As long as we breath the same air,walk on ths same land.u can run,u can hide but oneday ur time wil come.the sky is the limit.who knew the mailoni brothers wil be killed.bravo 2 the army atleast we recognise ur presence.

  16. If these killers were captured alive, silly Lawyers like Sakwiba Sikota would cash in endless court procedures funded by HH !

  17. @Mbiji, you are fighting a lost cause because these animals stopped being human after they mercilessly killed 12 innocent human beings. They deserved what they had asked for themselves. Stop pretending just because you did not loose a relative at the hands of these animals. Bravo to the government for putting to an end a terror that has gone on for over 6 years.

  18. WELL DONE PF, IT TOOK MMD FOREVER TO BRING THIS TO A CLOSE. AS USUAL, OUR VICE PRESIDENT THEN (NEVERS) ENCOURAGED DIALOGUE.
