Three suspects have escaped from lawful custody at Kanyonyo Police Post in Mongu District.
According to Western Division Police Commanding Officer, Mr. David Mukuka Chileshe, the incident happened in the early hours of Tuesday as an officer was releasing individuals charged with idle and disorderly conduct.
The escapees have been identified as Elias Phiri, Nash Mulikelela, and Oliver Simunji. Police say Oliver Simunji has since been re-arrested and will appear in court soon, while a manhunt is underway for the remaining two suspects.
Authorities are appealing to the public to report any information that may help in the capture of the fugitives.
