DPP’s Jomo ‘Ntopwa 1’ charged with malicious damage and theft
Malawi Police in Limbe have explained that 39-year-old Isaac Jomo Osman, also known as Mtopwa 1, was taken into custody Monday over malicious damage and theft allegations.
Inspector Patrick Mussa, Limbe Police Public Relations Officer, said the DPP Bangwe Nthandizi ward councilor was arrested yesterday on June 29, 2020 in Limbe Township.
“It is suspected that on 25 May, 2019, Member of Parliament for Blantyre Bangwe Constituency, Orphan Shawa was at his residence in Mpingwe celebrating his victory after winning as an independent Member of Parliament after 2019 tripartite elections.
“In the course of celebrations, Osman together with other accomplices whilst armed with panga knives, invaded the house and violently damaged three car windscreens, and stole three Samsung and two Itel cellphones valued at K1 035 000,” he said.
Jomo has since been charged with malicious damage and theft which contravene Section 344(1) and 278 of the penal code respectively.
He is expected to appear before court today on June 30 to answer the charges leveled against him.
Isaac Jomo Osman hails from Mtalimanja village Traditional Authority Mponda in Mangochi district.

People should differentiate between political persecution or oppression and criminality. If people are motivated by politics to commit crimes, when the time comes to answer their doings, political persecution is a phrase that should not come near their lips. We are all equal before the law only that we choose to apply it differently. People like Muthalika, his wife and all their cronies have been illegally enriching themselves but when the time comes to account for their deeds, they will cry the loudest that it is political persecution. This Jomo guy committed these crimes because he knew he had DPP blessings to do whatever he wanted. It is not political persecution but answering for his crimes regardless of the circumstances. If we are to be objective we should always put ourselves in the shoes of the victim. Would you be happy for your oppressor to go unpunished just because he had the support of the power that be when he was victimizing you? If the law was intended to treat crimes differently, it would have stipulated what constitutes a political crime or not so that it is applied differently. If I steal because of my political position, I have stolen. I am no different from a common burglar who has broken into someone’s house and went away with various goods. We are all thieves and no one is being politically persecuted here if we get arrested. In fact the most evil thieves are politician and deserves the harshest punishment. Their greed is insatiable. Take for example Getrude Muthalika. Old as she is, her sights are on amassing as much wealth as possible at the expense of poor Malawians. Just look at the number of property she has bought will stolen money over a period of less than six years with no known business.
Mlandu siuwola.
Release Jomo!!! Arrest Nsundwe murderers and HRDC leadership. A whole policeman lost a life there. Yet the Police is turning a blind eye. In case u have forgotten, HRDC destroyed million kwacha worthy of businesses. And as of today, they r still roaming the streets freely as if nothing terrible happened. What kind of justice is that? Aint we supposed to be all equal in the eyes of the Law? We loudly Say No to Victimization of DPP cadres.

Stop politically motivated victimizations and arrests . Being a DPP supporter is not a crime. Plz be reminded that Mtopwa 1 is innocent until proven guilty by the courts.
These guys were untouchable during DPP. The vandalism happened last year which is pretty much within the statue of limitations. I would call it politically motivated if it happened more than five years ago.
Where were you all this time.Shame on Malawi police.
Mlandu suwola
Nde kuuma mutu kokhakokha tikunena of. Would the police arrest a cadet under Mutharika?
Mtopwa1 Isaac Jomo Osman must face the law, munthu wanji omenya mzake chifukwa chakuti wavala malaya amukukonda kwache? Malawi police, human rights ichitepo kanthu. Bulutu ameneyu
Anyapala kundendeko! Jomo mukanchite kanthu!👙
What about assault?

Jomo wapita ku ndende atakhuta kale you can see mimba yakeyo..uyu azidya kamodzi pa week
Koma milandu yake anapalamula liti, last week, last month because if it has taken more months then our police should also account their lazy fair approach. Somebody at the police failed his job. Stupid Malawians tizidikira kusintha Boma kuti munthu amangidwe. No.
He was being overprotected by a team of crooked leaders under a numbskull president.
Amaona ngati boma ndi lawo okha, police kugwira ntchito mokondera lero mwaonekera ng’amba. Asasamba worse limbe police, izi zimachitikira momwemo mu Limbe momo iwo a police akungoyendayenda.
Human rights ndi court gwirani ntchito, he doesnt even deserve bail this savage called mtopwa1
Mlandu suwolatu
He too beat up Dr Billy Mayaya and his case is coming .They guy and his team Under the leadership of Mchacha and Dausi caused lots of damage in Blantyre. He doesnt attend to his football team in Lilongwe. Police should keep him under police custody and fasten his case so that the Court sends him to jail.
Some of these chaps should just be lined up against the wall.
JOMO!!! NYENKHWE YINJATU NDIYIMENEYO WAYIWONA TSOPANO.

This smells of ‘selective justice’. I will wait to see Mr. Arthur Peter Mutharika K145 million case, 400,000 bags of cement case and ( he grabbed my girlfriend) case. I will believe in our justice system!
This notorious guy must spend years behind the bar. He thought he was above the law for belling themselves ana adadi. Unfortunately their dadi has no power to rescue them. Power has shifted to Chakwera and Chilima. Worse still the dadi ffor cadets has also lost his immunity from persecution.
That is how “life happens” in a blink of an eye rapture wilk take a place the same with this. Those last week thought that they’re demigods or untouchable now are spending s night in the cooler. A lesson to us all. Very cruel individual, this guy.
If ever there was a thug more deserving of being in prison, it is him. Throw away the prison keys, and let him spend the rest of his days in a cell full of notorious fags. Upon his death, he should head straight to the lower levels of hell to gnash his teeth. Chindere chakufikapo.
Politically motivated, the police let him roam freely until today. What kind of police work do you do? Party policing isn’t good at all. Look now you are going after him and I suspect ruling party offenders will go free until they too lose power in 2025 then the police will arrest them.
Awawa-LOCK THEM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEYS.We cannot afford to be a country where lawlessness is promoted.
Sadyeka wadyeka.
Why did the Police took time to arrest him. Jomo has been terrorizing people in Blantyre for a long time. Let him face the music and feel Nyekhwe….
Watikwana
I wish this guy to spend more time in prison.In fact not only Jomo but with the rest of DPP cadets who were terrorizing innocent Malawians by the name of ANA ADAD.Let them face the law.
