The Malawi head coach onfirmed that he reported the issue to Lilongwe Police Station.

Chimodzi, who is a successful businessman, said 15 robbers invaded his residence after drilling through his brickfence but they did not harm his family and steal anything after they failed to penetrate the house.

“It was a terrible night for me and my family as a group of 15 robbers  invaded my compound but I thank God that they did not harm us and they also left without taking anything because they did not have access into my house,” Chimodzi said.

He said the incident has left him living in fear for his life.

“I don’t know what the thugs were looking for at my compound. I am living in fear in fear but let’s put everything in the hands of God,” said the soft-spoken coach.

Lilongwe Police spokesperson Kingsley Dandaula confirmed the development.

“He reported the matter to the Police and we rushed to the scene but the robbers had already gone. We have intensified security in some areas including Area 3 and 9 because robbers were targeting these areas,” Dandaula said.

Recently robbers also raided the house of Football Association of Malawi (FAM) Executive Member James Mwenda and went away with assorted households items.

The development comes a month it was revealed that the coach would be pocketing K1.7 million in salary in the new contract as the Flames head coach.

  8. let me tip our police, check the vehicle DZ4223 hilux surf black. This is a suspected gang leader with guns, and seems to operate from a hotel around biwi area with gangs in most townships in LL. that is the gang that robbed and murdered a Zimbabwean woman some months ago in area 24 (the woman happened to be tenant to the gang leader).

  10. How did u manage to count the thugs that were 15?
    Or u r jst imagine?
    I think u can recognise one if u happen to meet them in the street.We thank God they didn’t harm yo family

  14. Akubawa amafuna kuti akatenge misonkho yomwe kochi analandira koma kulephera ntchito yomwe analembedwa kuti akwanitse. Flames sinapite ku AFCON.

  15. who said when you catch them don’t kill them.the govt can not openly say kill them.it’s up to us to control the situation and eradicate the thugs from the earth surface one by one.

  19. PLIZ wakuba ukagwidwa lako mdziko muno ndi teyala,this is a good measure to reduce clime.Ife tikudziwa kuti mbava zambili ndi apolice amene.malawians pliz dont take a thief to polce.IG abide by this new law!

  21. Thanks you are safe. These thugs must be caught and severely punished. One puzzle though, how did you Manage to count them? Got perimeter cctv?

  22. 15 robbers?, how can 15 people agree on one thing? This should be easy for police to trace them and catch them, a friend or relation of one of the 15 robbers surely knows something. Do we have Police CID’s in Malawi? if so then they dont know their job or they just sit doing nothing. This group of robbers must have come from nearby slums, how can 15 robbers travel, in a mini bus, cars, by foot? Thats where our stupid police should start from

  25. The authorities need to train snipers and randomly position them in places that Are likely to be targets for night robbers especially in the cities. If these snipers can successfully stop some robbers in action, it would send a strong warning to the rest. The key is setting it up so robbers can’t guess. Citizens who work so hard to raise their families should never live in perpetual fear for their lives like this. It’s time to start teaching these robbers a lesson.

  26. I heard someone said ntchito za mcp and pp? That’s not true osamangoyankhula ngati oduka mutu. Security needs to be improved. Hey are very poor people around rich residents homes. So jealous is wat is causing these problems

  29. Tiwonana muzandipeze ine kaya muzakhala 50 nonse ndikuzapha muziapezelela achina atupele ndi achilima omwewo koma ine muzasiya azibale anu pamavuto u r welcome guyz

    1. That’s a silly comment. Can you prove that ndi ntchito za MCP ndi PP? Ngati dziko lakukani kuyendetsa inu a DPP, don’t blame other parties. Most of the thieves are from the South, useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. @thepatriot, go to police. There are forms there. Fill them in. Justify why u wanna ve a riffle-obviously, low security levels. Then u get the license and look for a gun to purchase. Simples! Komano vuto akuba amakupeza uli mtulo…they use juju amwene.

  34. These burglars once caught must be castrated and their parts muted in public to teach a lesson to those that would be other offenders in planning.
