ZAOGA leader Ezekiel Guti’s son-in-law has appeared before
a Harare magistrate facing charges of pointing a firearm at his wife and
threatening to shoot her on suspicion that she was having an extra-marital
affair with a fellow pastor.
Lindsay Nyajeka, who appeared on summons before magistrate
Obedience Matare, is represented by Jonathan Samukange.
The State asked for a postponement, saying the complainant
Ethanim Perfect Munamato Guti is admitted to Mbuya Dorcas Hospital after
falling ill. But Samukange warned the court that it was a ploy by the
complainant to manufacture evidence as records with the police investigation
officer revealed that Nyajeka surrendered the gun to the church before the case
was reported.
Magistrate Matare postponed the matter to November 30 for
trial.
The State alleged that sometime in December last year,
Nyajeka and his wife had a misunderstanding over extra marital affairs. Nyajeka
was accusing his wife of having an extra marital affair with Gilbert
Chadyemhunga, a pastor in the church.
The State alleges Ethanim tried to explain that nothing was
going on, but Nyajeka charged towards her and took a gun from a drawer, cocked
it before pointing it towards her.
It is alleged the complainant messed her pants, but Nyajeka
fired two shots into the ceiling before storming out of the house, threatening
to commit suicide, and drove away.
The State alleges on October 17 this year, Nyajeka
assaulted his wife.
