……………..and how many police officers are arrested for raping women (bana kapenta milomo) on street corners at night? Did they even reveal how the guy died in their cell, and how he got the big cut on his head before he died?
people first lekeni tuponone ba police and then last we deal with the arrested guys. uku kutumpa sana.
Mr. Green Nguni should not be proud to announce that 14 pipo have been arrested in conection with last weeks’s riots which took place in garden compound. What action has he taken on the officers who sparked the riots? He should not be seen to be siding with his officers. These guys dont learn in the recent past we have had similar situations happening in Misisi and Ngombe compounds. Does it mean these officers dont learn? A careless officer sparked the riot and a property eas destroyed rsulting in innocent pipo in that area being denied security, what a sad situation. The police chief must explain to the public his findings on who caused death in his men’s custody. It does not matter whetehr amoung the susupects there were 4 ex convicts and 2 women. Is it possible that 14 pipo can act.
