NPA Refuse To Prosecute CIO, ZRP, Military Intelligence "Armed Robbers"
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) on Tuesday refused to prosecute a team of security agents that allegedly robbed a Mbare shabeen owner of substantial amounts of money during the ShutDownZim protests.
The 10-member team of robbers is made up of police officers, Military Intelligence and Central Intelligence Organisation operatives.
The security officials conspired to rob a Shabeen on Mangende Street in Mbare on February 8 while armed with assault rifles.
Eight members of the gang are Pride Ziwenga, Wilson Masvayamwando, and Admire Gasva (all Military Intelligence); Matthews Tshuma, Fidel Marume and Simbarashe Bwititi (all CIO); Henry Banda (PISI) and Dennis Muroyiwa (ZRP Law and Order).
The eight were let go after the NPA told police investigators to bring a full docket. A ZimLive source said:
The NPA wants police to complete their investigations and submit a consolidated file. They are not off-the-hook, the prosecution will proceed by way of summons.
According to the police, the group robbed the shebeen’s owner of $28 000 bond notes and $100 before driving away in a white Nissan MP300 with registration number AEA 4471, a white Nissan MP300 without registration plates and a Datsun Go without registration plates.
It was established that the vehicles used during the robbery belonged to the CIO.
