THE Zambia Police Service has refuted social media reports that it has closed a case in which presidential special assistant for politics Kaizer Zulu is purported to have committed assault at the Heroes National Stadium last Sunday.
Police spokesperson Esther Katongo said contrary to the reports Police had not shielded Mr Zulu adding that the matter was still under investigation.
“Immediately after receiving the report from the complainant, police officers issued a medical report to the complainant and a docket was opened and the matter is under study,” Ms Katongo said.
In a statement issued in Lusaka yesterday, she said Police did not act on impulse but followed procedure in investigating and executing cases.
It was not true that Police had closed the case as was being portrayed on social media.
Ms Katongo said Police could take action in the matter concerning Mr Zulu only after exhausting investigations and following procedures.
Therefore, statements purporting that Police was selective in application of the law were misplaced.
