UPND CADRES ATTACK TUTWA NGULUBWE AND HIS COMPAIGN TEAM

PF candidate for Kabwe Central Parliamentary elections Tutwa Ngulubwe says he was yesterday attacked and injured by UPND members in Kabwe on suspicion that he wanted to tamper with ballot papers. “Last evening as we were returning from our busy campaign trip in my constituency, one kilometre from my polling station the, UPND attempted to assassinate me. After a fierce battle in defence of our team we managed to escape with injuries,” Ngulube said. “Our pick-up carrying our Special Tactics Unit was attacked by a cowardly crowd of more than 70 panga -wielding UPND Cadres.” As at 02:30 we managed to retrieve the backup pick-up where the driver was injured by Satanists. Thank God the equipment in the backup vehicle was able to prevent the death of any of our SWAT team. Ngulube said he has since reported the matter to police and that he and his team had been issued been issued with medical reports. He said it was unfortunate that the UPND had also decided to play victims by registering a complaint that they were attacked instead. “Funny enough the UPND aggressors’ attempts to register a fake complaint with the police through Former Councilor Lemmy Solochi was met with serious contradictions. The UPND then arranged false witnesses to pretend they witnessed the attempted murder ,” Ngulube said.
