A 24-year-old man is nursing injuries he sustained after he
was reportedly bashed and detained for more than eight hours in a botched drugs
deal.
Tapiwa Mashingaidze was given a thorough hiding by the
alleged drugs seller Tendai ‘Tenso’ Walani.
The incident occurred on Friday evening when Tapiwa was
bashed after confiscating a mobile phone belonging to Tenso for allegedly
selling him coarse salt instead of a drug called Crystal Methamphetamine.
The case has since been reported as an assault charge under
RRB 4334769 at Katanga Police Base and he was referred to Norton Hospital for
medical examination.
Efforts to get a comment from Tenso were fruitless. “Tenso
sold me coarse salt instead of crystal meth and I went for marecovery.
“I took his mobile phone before they followed and attacked
me. “They took me to their house where they tied me whilst I was naked.
“Vakandirova rough, with an electric cable from 11 pm and
forced me to sleep outside at the veranda of their house,” narrated Tapiwa.
Tapiwa said, he bought the fake drug for US$5. “I was
apprehended at Katanga shopping centre by Tenso who was in the company of his
friends.
“They tied and beat me whilst I was naked, they even
urinated on me, vachindisvipira. I wanted to recover my money since he had sold
me fake drugs,” added Tapiwa.
The matter came to light around 8am on Saturday when
Tapiwa’s brother Takudzwa went to the house and found him tied whilst on the
veranda.
“Takudzwa is the one who came to collect me after he heard
that I was apprehended by Tenso and friends.
“He then accompanied me to the police where we reported the
case.” Investigations into the matter are underway and Tenso is reportedly on
the run.
