Police arrest lawyer Ambokile over gender-based violence against ‘baby-mama’
Malawi Police Service have arrested Blantyre-based lawyer Ambokire Salim over allegations of perpetrating gender-based violence as he allegedly assaulted a woman, he fathered a child with causing grievous body harm.
Ambokire was arrested on Tuesday by the Blantyre police according to the city’s police spokesperson Augustus Nkhwazi.
The arrest comes as Women Lawyers Association have embarked on a fight against gender based violence.
Nkhwazi has identified the ‘baby mama’ as Lina Musopole.
He said Salim has been arrested after the Musopole lodged a complaint that she was assaulted by the accused on December 1.
Nkhwazi said Musopole also reported that the accused had spread a chemical (Doom) on her face.
This comes barely days after another lady, believed to be Salim’s girl friend claimed she was brutally assaulted by Salim towards November end.
Pictures posted in social media space showed the woman was heavily assaulted and suffered bruised eyes and had her mobile phone completely broken during the fracas.
“Yes, he is in our custody now. His wife came yesterday complaining that she has been assaulted by Ambokire since 1 December, 2020,” said Nkhwazi.
Previously, Salim also assaulted the woman he had two children with and she relocated out of the country to UK after she could not get protection from local security.
Ndipo throw away the keys. let him see nyekhwe. He should be raped, turned into someone wife there and get beaten. He should understand that women need love and care too. They are not punching bags.
Ambokile has been beating women for a better part of his life and has been going away with it…Wina ndi Judge Potani when he is drunk becomes a nuisance…
Useless fellow. A wasted education.
Any man who can do this to a woman, to the extent of spraying doom to the woman’s face, is no man at all.
Ukunama aise
So you’re a wife beater hiding behind the courtroom? Maaan you’re just a disgrace to us real men, come and fight me so I can show u how we do it not on women bru.
Bravo police, this is a positive development, he is a repeat offender so we don’t expect the judge to grant him bail just like that. This man needs to be rehabilitated. Let him spend sometime there in jail, instead of being a bedroom bully he will thereafter focus on his career and be a responsible citizen of this nation.
if our rule of law is to be respected, such individuals need to be punished. malamulo sanapangire osauka okha, kapena osaphuzira okha ayi. for GBV to end such air brains need to be punished kuti anthu wena aphuzilirepo. pali wanthu ambiri akuvutika mmanyumbamu koma amaona kuti olo atapita ku polisi palibe chomwe chizachitike.
He will get bail and nothing will happen as usual. The only main problem I see here is the Law Society. How many times has its members misbehaved, or broken the laws and still continue to practise? Don’t they have a code of conduct? May be if they enforce their code of conduct, there will not be any lawyer remaining.
The last sentence made my day,God bless you.
Bravo to the law enforcement forces for nabbing this bastard. He is the definition of impunity and arrogance. He has always thought that he can get away with his violent ways against women, that he can bribe his victims into not reporting his savagery to the police. He is a shame to his profession and to all educated men.
We dont condone GBV. But of all women, ambokire, with all the money you have, why ??? But Why??? I will give you a good looking woman to fuck
Obviously you condone GBV.
Good looking women, you are talking about look like that because of make up. When they remove the make, they will look like her as well.
Kkkk his first wife was such a beauty and very nice girl. Uku nde kulodzedwa ndithu. Anyway women need to learn also. By the time a woman decides to leave a man because of violence, why the heck would you want to be with that man????
