Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Chief Superintendent Paul Nyathi has dismissed reports that there is a group of criminals kidnapping and beheading people, especially children.
He urged people to ignore messages circulating on WhatsApp. Chief Superintendent Nyathi also urged the public to verify such information by approaching the nearest police station. He also warned that anyone caught circulating such messages will be arrested. Said Nyathi:
We encourage members of the public to ignore messages circulating on social media which cause alarm and despondency. This is totally false information and we urge members of the public to verify any information or approach any nearest police station if they are suspicious of any such messages. As security services we are conducting investigations and anyone caught circulating messages that will cause panic, alarm and despondency among members of the public will be dealt with in terms of the law.
Part of the fake message circulating on Whatsapp reads:
parents beware!!!!
Police in Vic Falls called for a meeting for all parents to attend and showed them 7 men they had caught. These men live in Rugars.The men confessed that they came from south africa and they r among a grp of 300 pple who came for the sole purpose of beheading children for ritual purposes. Several children have since gone missing. Parents r being advised to look after their children. These pple are living amongst us.
