The Police officers from Limbe station cornered the criminals who were about to stage a robbery in Mudi residential area and killed three of them in a gunfire exchange.

National police spokesperson, Rhoda Manjolo said the law-officers cornered the criminals following a tip-off.

This is a second time police have shot dead criminals. Last week the law-enforcers killed two habitual criminals in the capital city of Lilongwe.

”We had information on the 7th of May that there were criminals who wanted to attack a certain house in Mudi residential area at gate no 30. Our officers visited the area but the criminals didn’t turn up,” explained Manjolo.

She said on Monday they had another information that the criminals were set to stage the robbery.

”We were informed that the criminals were organising themselves at a certain place in Makheta. The officers rushed to the place, however the criminals started firing at them using antic firearm(muzzle
roader).”

Manjolo said the officers fired back in retaliation and killed three of the criminals.

”One has run away. Police is thanking all those well wishers who are providing fruitful information.”

Manjolo mainted her appeal to all Malawians to continue providing Police with “reliable information” with which to make Malawi a tough place for criminals to operate in.

“Our officers will continue using necessary force because most of the times their lives are endangered when confronting armed criminals,” said Manjolo.

  14. JUSTIFIABLE, MUDI ROBBERS WERE real CRIMINALS,says Community:: For your info.,the mission by the officers was brilliant & well set,that was professional undercover operation,you caught my heart coz many people who watched the scene + my wife were greatful.So one BEAST was brown with strong body muscles ..Robert Senga of makheta,another black with strong build..Charles or Chalo that was the name pple overhead at the scene,some said waku Bangwe, the last one with light skin,in his 20s,at list slim,also suspected from Ndilekeni-makheta.People identified the run away beast and Ethurama being a home based self acclaimed Informer & loving citizen will divulge more info.to LAW ENFORCERS or KACHAMA himself because there’s another remnant & probable leader according to the secretive & cowardly community sources.A lot more job for you officers in makheta/machinjiri is unfolding after your incredible,accurate & swift round-up yester.

  50. These police officers deserve promotion and need to be rewarded handsomely. Make sure that you have killed all these animals whenever you corner them.

  51. Thank you very much to the Police for the job well done. Some of the robbers stay in Mchinjiri at Chikapa. Please the Police track them down and kill them all.Good that Bwana wina close to Chikapa shot them two days ago. Thankjs to the government for giving him the license to have the gun. He is helping the Chikapa community very much.

  52. This is good news for Malawians though bad for criminals.This is the way to go to get rid of these animals in our society.

  53. Maurice Nkawihe, we spell it as antique not antic. Do your simple spelling and grammar check it could have picked up that error. Mind you, nyasatimes is read internationally and its is expected to be professional please. Antic means something else related to arts or dramma or plays.

  55. These are the boys to be promoted and given medals. Not Jose and Matinga. What have they done and achieved ?Given promotions and medals for killing Chasowa ?

  64. Good job done by Malawi Police service.Could the police command handsomely reward the police officers in the ANTI-ROBBERY SQUAD unit! Its not easy to face armed robbers kaah!Those police officers risk their lives by 95% as they persue those armed beasts in human form.It is like “ufela mbolo ya shamwari kaah”, M’chewa said that. .Please reward those police officers!

  68. a big applause to malawi police! Now you can see and understand the reason why you are given a gun loaded with those live bullets. JB ndi Dzonzi ndi ma phoyiphoyi, zoona kumapita ku Patrol ndi ndodo basi?

    Hope one morning they’ll wake up to see that one of the killed is their relative.
    Shoot to kill is good

  72. Thank you MPS mwagwira nychiyo yotamandika. Pitirizani timadziwa ndinu anthu odziwa ntchito yanu. Zimangovuta ena akalowetsapo ndale

  74. Way to go, modern Malawi police, again. Indeed, make life unbearable for armed criminals, and the hard core ones even if they are not armed. We know that you shoot only when intelligence calls for it, or when shot at first.
    I do not know what MPS do for the officers involved in this kind of event. But it would be prudent to get them time off and some counseling, consider them for some bravery awards, and possibly fast track them for promotion too. We know these problems cannot be solved overnight, but we are very pleased with the trajectory, so far.
