Ncube was not asked to plead to the charges when he
appeared before magistrate Judith Taruvinga charged with criminal abuse of
office.
Mr Sebastian Mutizirwa, prosecuting, had it that on
December 12, Ncube was aboard a Honda Fit along with Plan Lanjisi and Trust
Chiparatongo travelling from Jumbo Mine.
They then attempted to evade the tollgate, which raised the
suspicion of soldiers who were manning there.
Ncube, Lanjisi and Chiparatongo failed to explain why they
wanted to evade the tollgate ending with the soldiers asking to search the car.
It was when Ncube allegedly identified himself as a chief
inspector and told the soldiers not to search the car, as it was taking him
home.
The court heard that the soldiers insisted on searching the
car where they found the gold ore and recovered a pistol and seven rounds of
ammunition from Ncube. Herald
