“Our team’s efforts, combined with the effectiveness of the scanning machine, have sent a strong message that we will not tolerate any attempts to compromise prison safety and security,” Malisye said. General Duties Officer at the station, Superintendent Samuel Chimgwenembe, praised the officers’ swift action, noting that the scanning machine proved instrumental in detecting the contraband. “The scanning machine proved its worth, and our team’s quick response ensured the illicit substance was seized before entering the prison,” Chimgwenembe said. “We are grateful for the scanning machine and will continue working tirelessly to ensure the prison remains safe and secure for both inmates and staff,” Mkwaila said. Further investigations linked the smuggling attempt to inmate Davie Chiphwere and transporter Davie Bamusi.
