The Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) has arrested a 27 year old Kitwe businesswoman for trafficking in 30 pellets of pure grade cocaine.
Rozana Kunda, who is a resident of Ndeke village in Kitwe, was arrested at Lusaka International Airport on her arrival from India aboard a Kenyan Airways Flight number 724.
DEC Public Relations Manager John Nyawali said in a statement to ZANIS today that Ms. Kunda swallowed the cocaine pellets as a mode of concealing them.
She was detained in police custody and was scheduled to appear in court soon.
And DEC has arrested a 40 year old man of Chawama Township in Lusaka when he attempted to sell narcotic drugs to some people.
Mr. Nyawali named the arrested man as Mwamba Muyaya, who he said is a mastermind for cocaine supply in Lusaka.
He said Muyaya has been eluding the security dragnet for some time now.
“Muyaya’s arrest is significant as it is expected to lead to other positive developments in the fight against drug trafficking,” he said.

Easy solution shoot two or three big time cocaine Barons and the put the fear of God into people. My beloved southern Africa is going tobecome like newyork in the eighties if nothing is done willingly in law terms that is.
Zambia – No longer at ease

We are in trouble. The high poverty levels and the lure for a quick back are at play. The other thing is that Zambia seems to have become a distribution centre for hard drugs in the region
