Johnson, who was in the country on a 30-day holiday visa,
was fined by magistrate Stanford Mambanje yesterday, who found him guilty of
possessing a firearm without a valid certificate.
The court heard that Johnson landed at the Robert Gabriel
Mugabe International Airport on February 5 with his Glock 17 gen 4 pistol and
three loaded magazines stashed in his suitcase.
On February 15, he checked in at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe
International Airport intending to board a fastjet flight to Victoria Falls.
The accused had not applied for authority to carry a
firearm on board an aircraft 24 hours prior to check in, in terms of section
65(3) as read with section 65(4) of the Civil Aviation (Security) Regulations,
2019.
This led to his arrest. Newsday
