Cephas Munyamana (30), a police officer, was on Thursday sentenced to 3 years in prison for demanding an $80 bribe to drop charges against one Willis Mhandu. Munyamana will spend two years in prison after the magistrate suspended 1 year for good behaviour.
Munyamana and his accomplice detective constable Chakwena were allegedly kidnapped by Mhandu while they were manning a road block. They later arrested Mhandu and demanded a bribe of $80 from him in order to drop the charges.
Munyamana was arrested while receiving money from Mhandu’s son-in-law. Detective constable Chakwena is on the run.
