Two PPU Diplomats department police officers are expected to appear in court on allegations of extorting US$500 from a motorist they had arrested at the intersection of Samora Machel and Sam Nujoma, near the Munhumutapa Building.

They claimed the motorist had answered her phone in “Presidential territory”.

Munhumutapa Building houses the Office of the President.

Nyasha Ndumo, 31, and Isaac Chako, 32, are expected to appear before the Harare Magistrates’ Court for criminal abuse of office and alternatively extortion.

Ndumo and Chako reportedly pressured the motorist to drive to her place of residence in Mt Pleasant to collect the money or risk a mandatory jail term.

The offence was reportedly committed on December 1.

The two cops were tracked on a cellphone number which was given to the motorist's son at the time they left her place of residence after being given US$300.
