In an interview with The Herald yesterday, national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said ZRP has zero tolerance on police misconduct and those found guilty will be dealt with accordingly.
Nyathi’s sentiments come following reports of some cops committing serious crimes. Last week on Friday, police arrested three officers, one of them a senior cop, when the trio were found with 15 different types of guns, more than 180 live bullets and an assortment of related armaments which they could not account for. Police arrested David Fugao, an Officer-in-Charge at the Matabeleland North Provincial Armoury (in Bulawayo), Wonder Tawanda Karamba (33) and Francis Chaterera (39) on charges of criminal abuse of duty as public officers.
Said Nyathi:
ZRP does not condone any acts of criminality, any acts of indiscipline or corruption by police officers. So, those who would be found wanting, those who would be found going against the set standards of the organisation, whether as a group or whether in their individual capacity will certainly face the full wrath of the law.
