Kampyongo detained at Chelstone Police Station over 2015 Chopper attack In Shiwangandu. Police at Chelstone Police Station have recorded a warn and caution statement from former Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo.
Mr. Kampyongo’s lawyer George Chisanga said in an interview that the Shiwangandu Member of Parliament has been warned and cautioned after hours of interrogations.
Police Spokesman Rae Hamoonga also confirmed the matter adding that Mr. Kampyongo has been warned and cautioned for the offence of Endangering Safety Contrary to Section 8(f) of CAP 445 Safety of Civil Aviation Act of the laws of Zambia.
Particulars of the Offence are that Mr. Kampyongo with others are allegedly to have endangered the safety of an Aircraft and its Passengers.

Mr Hamoonga said Mr. Kampyongo is yet to be formerly charged and arrested at the place of commission of the offence.

Several PF officials among them Raphael Nakacinda, Mutotwe Kafyaya, Remember Mutale, Kalalwe Mukosa and Kampamba Mulenga were by time of publishing negotiating their entry into the Police Station.
Very good……..
Long over due……..
We expect more charges……….
Kapoyongo was behind all the policevand PF cader violence and burning of markets to facilitate 42/42……..
Yes in Europe they recently arrested a woman who was aiding to kill the jews in 1945. That is after 76 years. A crime is a crime. Lesson – when you are in leadership position act responsibly
Police are just doing their work, there is no political hand here, the fact remains that helicopters were stoned by PF cadres in Shiwang’andu and it was not once , we all remember these stories, not even sure why PF chaps are pretending to be surprised
Rubbish. Just a deflection from the real issues. Next it will be Edgar Lungu for endangering Hakainde Hichilema’s motorcade in Mongu.
Are you daring him to commit suicide mwa wantu shuwa?
Diverting attention….we want them detailed for theft and corruption with all the evidence and send them to jail not on flimsy charges and they pay bond and back home…then case closed….
The REAL ISSUE is that PF created issues on all fronts….Economical, Social and political Issues. They never investigated crimes, such as this one or gassing, etc
Why are PF fans getting mad when the Police is doing its job? There is a suspected crime that was never investigated, so let the court decide to what extent Kampyongo is OR is not guilty. STOP POLITICIZING everything, and STOP BLAMING HH.
Police belongs to another branch of government, and each of them is doing their job. Musokotwane is addressing the economy, and Police is following up on crimes, DEC is chasing Malanji. Which is okay, a sign that things are moving. Next , is the Fast-Track courts. NO DEFLECTIONS.
Upnd are thr most childish government we have ever had.
Look at this Mbuzi again, you are next, You think we have forgotten
Lelo lelo!!
Uzamuziba Yesu iwe Kapondo Chimpyongo!
I knew Kampyongo won’t have power forever. When ruling us please just rule without brutalizing us. He took his power to another level
Question: Was Kampyongo there? Did he plan or was he involved in that brutal and terror act?,…some more of such question. If yes, he needs to answer some questions. The law does not sleep forever.
Kampyongo will be jailed . This case is tight and the evidence is overwhelming. Too many witnesses. Kampyongo is in trouble on this one
@Spaka
kikikikiki ati long overdue…like you dont know the usual drill….tomorrow he will be home with his family and thats the case will end

This government is putting this country in danger, you don’t only arrest people from one tribe you may not know how these people are feeling for their brothers , no you don’t just as you love yours that is how it all works better to avoid a problem before you get one.
HH you promised to fix the economy but what you have started is dividing this country I tell you it will be yourself crying at the end of everything .
A government is there to do good and not to promote divisions, in the nutshell you also endangered the life of the president, when you will be out of power someone will visit you.
Kaizer, you are the most useless childish human being has ever had in PF. You are next. Get ready! Will smoke you out soon.
The guys know how to create dsa, I mean daily subsistence allowance or night allowance. Just arrest and escort. Lawyers apa bazadya. This is the time to be lawyer. Drama
UPND are just buying time to justify the dodgy deals they promised the masonries who got them into power. They don’t even hide the fact that they used these rogue elements to subdue our armed forces to get them to plot one. These guys will continue to blame their colleagues even after 5 years. The arrests will start with politicians and slowly shift to ordinary citizens, watch this space.

“This government is putting this country in danger, you don’t only arrest people from one tribe you may not know how these people are feeling for their brothers , no….”
So because a person from northern commits a crime , he must not be arrested , what kind of thinking is that ?
Report other cases committed by people of other tribes to the police , they too will get arrested ………

The Usual drill, like how you promised us the k65 million will be returned to faith musonda ?????
I miss the days when Kalimanshi would be on all TV stations. Those where the days. Ati Ama Amelikans…….
Was the chopper stoned? Yes, was it probably PF supporters? Yes. Was there a video of the same? Yes.
Was Kampyongo stoning the chopper? No evidence of that.
Did Kampyongo give orders to stone the chopper? No evidence of that.
Is this case going anywhere? Nope.
Why are our police making arbitrary arrests they can’t sustain in court?
Stop hallucinating here, let the Police do their work, This is a professional Police, it is very different from the PF police
A crime is a crime, some people in Europe are being arrested now in 2021 for crimes committed over 75 years ago, so there is nothing peculiar the Police are doing, If he is innocent he will be cleared but most of us remember Mrs Mwanawasa who was one of the passengers on the chopper which was almost brought down shedding tears when narrating the ordeal that took place in Shiwang’andu, another witness described it as a typical war zone
WONDERFUL NEWS
For years Edgar Chagwa Lungu and his Corrupt Criminal Enterprise of a Government have won Elections thru Political Intimidation Violence,rigging and Zambia Police Brutality.
Now the Boot is on the Other Foot,
Chickens are coming home to Roost
I recall a witness from one of the choppers that was stoned describing the scene as a full war zone with arsenals coming from all directions, strangely ECZ allowed that particular election in 2015 to go ahead even with video evidence showing the crime scene by PF cadres, who were well organize for the war with catapults, stones, knob kerries and other arsenals
UPND leaders learn lessons here, what was happening in Shiwanga’ndu was very bad, the issue of PF cadres stoning helicopters was very real, the Police to falter were those under Kanganja, in the interest of justice the former Minister who was the ‘commander’ in Shiwangandu then must be asked questions of course with his rights respected, let him be moved to Shiwangandu in a professional manner not in the way the PF Police transported Kambwili who was sick then from Lusaka to Luanshya in the most savage manner, even refusing him to go home to pick his medicine
He was Home Affairs Minister and he was very aware of the stoning of helicopters crime in Shiwangandu why did he not tell his Police to investigate this issue and close it when he was still in office, he can not claim ignorance, these things are happened, it almost became a lawless country this one
16 spaka.
You are not wise HH is the president he must be more wiser than his cadres he is the head of state and he is in charge he should work hard to unite the country than allow it to go into chaos, tribalism is real in the minds of all people they say blood is thicker than water, it doesn’t only speak to the three or southern province alone.
The way his people voted and love him that is how other tribes think about their tribe , they would like to defend it all costs even if their own is a law breaker like what HH did to the former president.
So the president has a moral obligation to unite Zambians if he doesn’t he will create his own problems in this peaceful Zambia, I’m a wise person trying to help the president to show leadership and not to do what would bring…
This fool thought he was baby Jesus. Here go. The world is round it goes around. This is just the beginning of your former self *****. Uzamuziba yesu.
:):):):)
Long overdue, he also needs to provide answers on who was the mastermind behind the gassing of Zambian citizens. These guys believed Zambia belonged to them..

This is sweet music to my ears . People should not abuse power. Power should be used to serve the people. We are waiting for the former number one commander in chief to also start appearing in court for abuse of power. When are they lifting his immunity? These PF criminals must be punished to an extent where the serving officials can learn a big lesson that abuse of power does not pay
