THE Mpongwe-based police officer who was injured by a drunk truck driver remains admitted to Ndola Teaching Hospital in a serious condition seven days after the attack, Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Jack Mwiimbu has revealed.
 
In the early hours of last Friday, 30-year old truck driver Anthony Kasumpabuwe attacked police inspectors Lewis Kasase and Yorum Chama after they went to investigate his report of a stolen bag of Fertilizer within Mpongwe Town.
 
The attack left the officers with serious head and facial injuries resulting in the death of Inspector Chama.
 
In a ministerial statement in Parliament this morning, Mwiimbu said Inspector Kasase was still in a critical condition and has been referred to Ndola General Hospital.
 
“It’s Almost a week since the survivor was admitted to the hospital but his condition has not improved,” Mwiimbu told Parliament.
 
It is reported the the suspects who happened to be intoxicated suspected his lorry boy of stealing a bag of fertilizer from his truck and reported the matter to the police.
 
The two police officers followed up the case and went apprehended the lorry boy for interrogations.
 
However, an absurd situation occured as the person they were assisting turned on them and started attacking them.
 
As the police officers were on their way to the police station with the suspect, the truck driver got a plank which he used to beat them for no specific reason leaving the cops in a critical condition with one eventually dying later during that day.
 
Miimbu disclosed the development through a ministerial statement addressing concerns raised by Joel Chibuye and Sydney Mushanga, members of parliament for Roan and Bwacha constituencies on the recent spate of police attacks.
 
He said it was sickening to see continuous attacks on police officers, threats on their lives and their families for simply carrying out duties.
 
Mwiimbu added that cops are also citizens entitled to safety
 
“Should their lives be put in immediate danger they have the right to use is at their disposal including fire arms to protect themselves.”
 
He cautioned any perpetrators of violence to desist or the law shall be enforced to the fullest on them.
