Cowdry Park Case: An innocent man’s photos have been
circulated and are still circulating as one of the accused persons in the vicious attack on 2 women in Cowdry Park, Bulawayo.
The accused person is TICHAONA ZARIRO and is one of the police officers arrested for assault not Tafadzwa ZARIRO.
After my thorough investigations, l have since discovered Tafadzwa Gumiso Zariro is indeed a police officer in Masvingo and has never worked in Bulawayo. He has never lived in Cowdry park, was last in Bulawayo 2013 and is a serving police officer in Masvingo.
Whoever picked his photos was mischievous, probably one of his haters just to put this man in great danger.
Zimbabwe social media travels faster than light in spreading information and mostly fake. An innocent man has been publicly condemned in relation to the brutal attack on innocent women.
In a vicious circle of hoax, we have seen his photos and name circulated not only on social media platforms, but also by several online news portals. His images have ignited a social media uproar, getting rebuked, insulted, threatened with death on his facebook and his family now living in fear in Masvingo. He is bombarded by hundreds of people on his Facebook and appears to be distressed.
It’s astonishing why police in Bulawayo have ignored the attack on an innocent Masvingo police officer. Social media is awash with his photos being abused yet his colleagues continue to ignore, instead of correcting this through their communications desk. Their silence is putting this innocent police officer in serious danger of being harmed or killed by civilians.
I urge all those that posted the photos of Mr Gumiso denigrating and insulting him to delete them and correct their posts.
The matter is in courts now, the best form of justice we can get for the ladies is to push and campaign for those Cowdry Park Police Officers to be convicted and fired from the force. Once again the photos of Tafadzwa Gumiso Zariro should be pulled down.
He is not Tichaona Zariro and have no relationship with him #justice4theladies
