POLICE have dismissed as false, social media reports
claiming that they intercepted wads of new bank notes linked to Media,
Information and Broadcasting Services Deputy Minister, Energy Mutodi.
The social media reports further falsley stated that police
had addressed a Press conference announcing the arrest of some youths and
recovery of new notes from a Toyota Wish vehicle in Harare.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi denied ever investigating Deputy Minister Mutodi over the said case and
arresting people with a Toyota Wish vehicle.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police wishes to categorically
dismiss social media posts that they held a Press conference on the arrest of
occupants of a Toyota Wish vehicle with money allegedly being linked to
Honourable Mutodi or some political party youths.
“Police did not hold such a Press conference as falsely
depicted on social media and any other statement being attributed to the
police, is totally false.
“If at all there was such an arrest, it would be
communicated through the normal channels and not through ghost media posts,”
reads the statement.
Asst Comm Nyathi said the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ)
and the police were now investigating the “mischievous” posts which were
believed to be part of a campaign to tarnish the Government of Zimbabwe. Herald
