UTAKATAKA Express band leader Peter Moyo is wanted by
police to answer to accusations of teaming up with his bouncers to attack
police officers on the day he launched his latest album “Mwana weMurozvi” in
Harare.
“Young Igwe”, as Moyo is referred to by his fans, reportedly
teamed up with bouncers, who were offering security services and attacked
police officers, after they went to the venue to quell violence that had
erupted.
The fracas broke out after raunchy dancer Beverly Sibanda’s
manager Hapaguti “Hapaz” Mapimhidze picked a misunderstanding with the bouncers
who ended up thumping him.
Irked by the bouncers’ act, Hapaz sought assistance from
the police.
Upon his return in the company of police officers, the
bouncers allegedly attacked the police and other revellers who attended the
album launch.
Some of the bouncers are said to have sought refuge in the
venue and police pursued them. Moyo reportedly blocked police officers who had
pursued the bouncers with his actions amounting to obstructing the course of
justice.
Police confirmed the incident saying they wanted the young
musician to submit himself and answer to allegations of obstructing the course
of justice.
“On May 31 at around 1am Mapimhidze came to the charge
office at Harare Central Police reporting that he had been attacked by one
Romeo at East Point Nite Club.
“The police went to the venue where Romeo and other
bouncers resisting police orders. Peter Moyo then obstructed the course of
justice,” said police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Webster Dzvova.
Asst Insp Dzova said Moyo was still at large. His matter
was reported under IR031615.
“Moyo is yet to be arrested and we urge him to report to
the Harare Central Investigations department. Romeo is also wanted by
Waterfalls police in connection with another case,” he said.
Romeo is said to have been part of the bouncers who caused
commotion during Sulumani Chimbetu’s show held recently at Mushandirapamwe
Hotel in Highfield. Herald
