Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Jack Mwiimbu says Government has come up with tough measures to dismantle criminal gangs called junkies that have been terrorising Lusaka residents.
According to Zambia Daily mail, Mr Mwiimbu said Government will soon implement the measures to protect innocent residents from junkies, who have been breaking the law with impunity in certain cases.
The so-called junkies have been terrorising residents of Kanyama, Chawama and Matero, among other townships in Lusaka.
A few days ago, it was reported that over 100 junkies ransacked shops and trading tables at markets in Chawama and John Howard stealing all their merchandise, which included vegetables, electronic items .
