And Kajoba commended Police officers for arresting the hired killers commonly known as Karavinas in Mufumbwe District.

He described the arrest as; “a huge success on the Police as members of the communities in Mufumbwe are now freely going about their business without fear of being attacked.”

Police arrested the perpetrators in 2021 and since then cases involving karavinas are unheard of in Mufumbwe District.

He urged Police officers to always be on the lookout and make sure that law and order is maintained in the District.
