A 29-year-old Tanzanian national has been detained in Kasama, Northern Province, after allegedly causing a commotion in town by claiming that a Zambian man had stolen his private parts.
According to Zambia Daily Mail, Northern Province Police Commanding Officer Simunji Mulonda confirmed that the bizarre incident happened today at around 11:50 hours in Kasama Town Centre.
The suspect has been identified as Loisheye Molle, a Tanzanian national from Arusha.
Mr Mulonda explained that police officers were alerted by a member of the public after Molle allegedly began accusing a named Zambian man of making his manhood mysteriously disappear after touching him.
Following the report, police moved in and conducted a thorough search, only to discover that the man’s private parts were still intact.
After confirming that no such “theft” had occurred, police arrested Molle and charged him with giving false information to a police officer.
The unusual case has since attracted attention in Kasama, with many residents left shocked and amused by the strange accusation.
