“They also duped civil servants in these areas promising them soft loans,” said constable Chiona.
The three were arrested by Mzimba central member of parliament Henry Mpofu Shaba who was concerned with the swindling which happened in his area where more than 1000 farmers were duped

What actually did they do?
Congrats Nyasa times for showing their faces. I do not agree with the practice of some media houses of hiding the faces of suspects. Why hide the face of ‘suspect'(s) who has been caught red handed?

Wakuba mzawo Chief Kaomba pano anabona. Anthu yawa analiza alimi, ma civil servants including apolice eniakewo chweeeeeeee kuno ku Kasungu.
Anatibera kuno ku Kasungu koma chilungamo sichinaoneke.They just corrupted all who were handling thier cases.And there were set free just imagine.Prosecutors from Mzimba just ask from kasungu, the truth will be known.Abale how can we trust our law enforce.Corruption at its best guys.
All evidence was availabe but thses thieves were left free.Mulungu ndi wamkulu.Wamira pa phale koma msana ukuoneka
These thieves also stole some money from civil servants here in Kasungu in the name of soft loans.Ask staff members from Kasungu Hospital.No body knows how the case was concluded by the court.We cannot rule out corruption by law enforcers
this is becoming very common, bolanso ADMARC izi za ma private traders tingowapweteka nazo alimi.. Rethink please!!
Tribalism comments makes me. Who told u that any of u so tribes are greater than the other .Have u forgotten that all of us came outside this country for instance Mozambique,
.Zambia ,South Africa, Zimbabwe and other countries .So why must u kill each other over supremacy of tribes.
