Dagga-selling cop denied bail

Zim Now Writer 

A Chiweshe police officer who allegedly sold cannabis to a student has been denied bail by a Concession magistrate, Joshua Nembaware, who remanded her to March 28 for sentencing.

The State presented that on January 31 a form four pupil at Nyachuru, name withheld, bought a twist of dagga from Tsoorai and went to school.

He was caught smoking by the school head who accompanied the boy to the police station and filed a police report. Police officers Hama and Muza went to Tsoora’s house and conducted a search and discovered a 5 litres container full of dagga twists.

On their way to the police station, they tempered with the dagga and only two twists were said to be Tsoorai’s hence they fined her at station level.

The fine triggered a public outcry leading to the arrest of the trio.
