Political Analyst Dr. Levy Ngoma says the break in at former President Edgar Lungu’s house raises many questions than answers.
Unknown people broke into former President Edgar Lungu’s house in Ibex Hill area, Lusaka on 9 August 2022 and stole two smart television sets valued at K66, 000. The thieves gained entry through the back of the house by climbing the wall fence where they also cut the electric wire.
Speaking in an interview with the Zambian Business Times-ZBT, Dr. Ngoma said the thieves who broke into the former President’s house are people who know his movements because the incident occurred when he was out of the country.
Dr. Ngoma explained that it is strange that at the time the break in took place, power cut at the residence between 01:00hrs and 06:00hrs in the morning adding that this made it easy for the thieves to cut the electric wire.
He noted that there were two armed police officers guarding the place the time the incident happened and none of them knows anything adding that there are security doors that were damaged and it is questionable how those security doors were damaged.
“The police who were guarding the place didn’t hear anything?, they can’t say it was raining and making noise and therefore we didn’t hear anything, this incident actually raises more questions than answers and therefore this country has to be concerned, it’s a very scary situation. The former President is a very special person who deserves proper national security”, he said.
He mentioned that an inquiry into the matter is required adding that there is need to beef up security at the former Head of State’s residence to ensure that this does not happen again.
The political analyst mentioned that such an incident has never happened before and reports suggesting that it has happened before are incorrect.
