Mayaya hackers left scott free, no arrest yet for Mtambo attackers

Malawi police is being accused of selective justice as it has left Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) cadets led by Jomo Osman who stoned and assaulted human rights activist Billy Mayaya in Blantyre to be loaming in the streets scot free while there has been no arrest in connection with alleged attack in Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) chairperson Timothy Mtambo.

Jomo Osman: Free

Mayaya sustained life threatening head injuries and was treated at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (Qech).

Video clips of the violence in Blantyre conspicuously showed DPP cadet Jomo Osman leading the violent attacks.

But police are coy to arrest the powerful DPP cadet who has been left free to roam in the streets of Blantyre and on Sunday attended a public event at the Mulhako wa Alhomwe cultural festival in Mulanje.

There has also been no arrest from police as rights activist Mtambo survived a gun attack from unknown people who were trailing him on Friday night with six bullets hitting his car.

But police spokesman James Kadadzera said they have instituted investigations but arrested so far arrested 249 suspects for violence during the post-election protests.

“Firearms experts from National Police Headquarters are on the ground to identify the type of firearm used in the commission of the offence,” said Kadadzera.

HRDC vice chairperson Gift Trapence said police should not only say the overused cliché of “under investigations” but handle the issue with seriousness.

“The beating of Billy Mayaya in the presence if police and with objective evidence showing attackers but nobody has been arrested,” said Trapence.

Kadadzera has since said in a statement that out of 249 arrested, one was convicted and sentenced to five years imprisonment with hard labour for acts intended to cause grievous harm in Lilongwe.

Three were sentenced to eight years jail for robbery in Lilongwe while the other three were jailed for three years for intentionally endangering safety of persons travelling by road in Dowa.

Kadadzera said 227 suspects are answering different charges in court out of which 54 are on remand and 173 are out on bail.

  5. What is the cadet Kadadzera talking about? The question is about those who attacked HRDC guys and not demonstrators.

  6. Kodi che Mayaya anatuluka? Why did he go to Queens when he said there are no drugs in hospital. I feel pity for this guy wopunduka ndikale being used by Mtambo and Trapence . Infact omwe anamumenya mayaya anachita bwino kuti amve kuwawa mmene enafe tinamvera ma business athu ataima pa LL cos of him and his Friends Mtambo. Why accusing a police that they are not arresting Jomo. What evidence was there that he is the one who did the beating of Mayaya? This guy was Mayaya was ambushed by Blantyre buinessmen amene mageni awo anasokonekera on that day so police could not pick anyone . Panali nkhonya zambiri zinamugwera Mayaya so ena anangogenda nkuthawa. In Nsundwe people mentioned each other including the murderers who were named. Mayaya becareful taone a china semebereka ndi manganya anakuthawa iwe popeza you are physically challenged you were unable to run away.

  7. It will be hard to trust these cadets masquerading as police officers. Selective justice will never take Malawi anywhere. Kadadzera mind your stupid mouth. Every time when you are asked to do something on any crime committed by cadets, your stupid answer has been ‘we are investigating the matter’. which investigation are you talking about? It seems you are a robbot. You just memorized that word.No matter how long it may take justice shall prevail in this nation.

  8. It such kind of action or inaction from the police/authorities that annoys the general public. Police shouldn’t be surprised that the generalgeneral public is their sworn enemy…WHEN an opportunity arises the public will attack the police! They knowtthat it not possible to attack commanding individuals but atleast those that carry out the commands

  11. JOMO OSMAN,you maybe free today but one day you shall answer the charges and your masters will not be there for you because they shall also defend themselves.Remember what goes round comes round…..

  12. Police ya Malawi ingayelekeza kumanga Jomo? He is almost their Inspector General. Amapinda nchila ngati galu akumuona Jomo, after all he is their next president

  13. Thats why people have lost trust in the Malawi Police. Anthu muzimenyana nawo left and right, but also dont forget kuti not all police leave in police lines tikukhala limodzi mmakwalalamu

  14. Why not arresting Cadets from Southern region who caused havoc in the city of Blantyre and hacked Billy Mayaya?

    You only arrested marchers/ protesters in the Northern and central part of the country.. This clearly means u really show which part u have bn defending. In short, u are also Cadets.

    That’s why other part of the Country don’t want u police during protest .
    Learn to be professional and not to be Daus’s Cadets.

    The police which was well trained, disciplined and with qualifications are long gone but now it’s full of salvages Lhomwe with Gondolosi in their head.
    The only things they know to display during their cultural event is GONDOLOSI. Every year Gondolosi, how can u successed in life if u only think of sex all the time??

    1. Pa*** panu apolice and all the cabernet of dpp go to hello or tingogawana dzikoli basi fuck you malawi police
