We are preparing to take him to court,”

Police Commander (RPC) for Urban West Region, said it is sad that Jecha
who had served as a Field Force Unit (FFU) officer for ten years, has

A teacher at Mwanakwerekwe Secondary School said that doing examination for another person is unacceptable.
The RPC said investigations are underway
