By Own Correspondent- Fresh details have emerged on the armed robbery case against Vice President Kembo Mohadi’s son, Bruce Nqobizitha Mohadi.
Mohadi junior was on Wednesday arrested after he allegedly seized car keys and vehicle registration books from a car sale at gunpoint on the pretext that he was a police officer.
While Bruce was reportedly still in police custody as of Thursday while consultations were ongoing, it is not yet clear whether he has been released or is still locked up pending court proceedings.
According to reports, Mohadi and a yet to be identified accomplice arrived at the Covenant Car Sale on Chiremba Road in Braeside, Harare, at around 9 AM on Wednesday and demanded to see the business’ owner, Jethro Mavangwa.
It is further alleged that an employee at the car sale, Ruramisai Chikwekwete called the owner who spoke to the two men who expressed an interest in buying an Isuzu KB300 for $25,000.
The two men allegedly pulled out a pistol and demanded that Chikwekwete tell them about Mavangwa’s whereabouts after claiming that they were police officers.
They then grabbed six vehicle registration books and the keys for the Isuzu before driving off.
The duo was later arrested by Braeside police and are facing armed robbery charges.
