Tinashe Sibanda (25) appeared before Harare magistrate Mr
Dennis Mangosi.
It is alleged that on December 22, 2020, Sibanda, who was
employed by Professional Security in Harare, was stationed at CABS Bank in
First Street Mall. While on duty, he was using a .38 Taurus revolver, which he
took with him after finishing his shift. When he did not return to work, follow
ups were made, but Sibanda could not be located.
On March 23 this year, detectives from CID Homicide
received information that Sibanda was at his former workplace and they reacted
swiftly to arrest him.
On being interviewed, Sibanda told the detectives that he
had given his brother, Phenias Sibanda, the firearm as a gift. Police tracked
down Phenias leading to his arrest.
Phenias told the detectives that he sold the firearm to
Thomas Nyakabau who lives in Goromonzi.
Meanwhile, a Glen Norah C man appeared before the same
magistrate facing two counts of disorderly conduct after allegedly assaulting
and attempting to disarm a security guard at Munhumutapa Building in central
Harare.
Andrew Sewere (35) was remanded in custody pending his bail
application and ruling.
The complainants, who were not named in court papers, were
both members of the Police Support Unit.
It is in State’s case that on April 23 at around 12.03pm,
the two police officers were on guard duty at Munhumutapa Building and armed
with their service AK 47 assault rifles.
Sewere asked one of officers for directions to the office
of the Master of the High Court and was duly directed. Suddenly, Sewere grabbed
the butt of one of the assault rifles but failed to disarm the policeman. He
started running towards NSSA building.
Both officers gave chase and caught up with Sewere who
allegedly punched one of them in the face. The two eventually managed to subdue
and arrest Sewere with assistance of members of the public.
