gathered that the 34-year-old was
facing one count of theft for allegedly stealing
Brenda Chisha’s phone.
Frederick Chiluba Jr, a retired ZAF officer who
graduated in 2014, was convicted of stealing a
Samsung S7 edge, valued at K8,500 from Chisha,
on September 2, 2017 and traded it for drug in
Chibolya.
Chisha in her testimony, told magistrate Chabala
that she met Chiluba in Woodlands on September
2, 2017 and he asked to use her phone.
“I have known him for years and it was an S7 so I gave
him and he used it for two minutes then gave it back to me.
About 10 minutes later, he came and asked to use the phone
again and I gave him but he started moving further and
further away from where we were. I then asked Isaac, who
will be a witness to get my phone from him and that was
the last time I saw the phone.
“On Sunday he was caught and taken to Kabwata Police.
When I asked him where the phone was, he said he had
forgotten it somewhere. That same day, the uncle came and
assured me that they would buy me another phone,”
Chisha said.
Chisha suggested that she wanted to withdraw
the case as they were family friends but
magistrate Chabala ordered that she would
proceed to hear the witnesses.
Chiluba in his defence, denied stealing the phone
and insisted that he returned it to the
complainant. He recounted that on that day, he
was having drinks with Chisha at Mommas Pub
in Woodlands when he asked to use her phone to
call his uncle because his phone had gone off.
Lusaka Magistrate Nthandose Chabala delivering
judgement said she handed Chiluba Jr a custodial
sentence as a deterrence to him and other
would-be offenders.
In a previous report by NAIJ.com , the Rapid
Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos state police
command arrested a suspected phone thief, Femi
Solomon .
The suspect confessed that he has stolen over
1,200 from Lagos commuters since he joined
pickpocket gang three years ago, Daily Trust
reports.
Solomon was arrested on Thursday at Iyana
Oworo after stealing a Samsung phone from a
commuter.
