Police have dismissed media reports alleging that 50 Namibians were arrested in Zimbabwe’s military camps for subversive activities.
In a statement, national police spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi said they are fully aware of the motive of the unruly elements behind the reports.

“The Zimbabwe Republic Police dismisses a social media post and purported media story attributed to the police alleging that 50 Namibians have been arrested in Zimbabwe military camps for subversive activities,” he said.

“Checks with relevant Police Commanders and Provinces have revealed that no such occurrence has been noted in the country. The false statement is dismissed with the contempt it deserves.

“The purported press statement was crafted in a manner not conforming to Zimbabwe Republic Police standards or format. The Zimbabwe Republic Police is fully aware of the intentions and motive of the criminals or unruly elements.

“Investigations will certainly be intensified to account for the criminals who are trying to disturb the peaceful environment obtaining in the country and send false information to the country’s neighbours.”
