Fired cop sues Chihuri

A BULAWAYO police officer, who was fired after he left the country without permission from Police Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri, has sued the Police Service Commission and the police boss seeking to be reinstated.

Oscar Mlotshwa filed an application for review of his dismissal on November 23 at the Bulawayo High Court citing the Police Service Commission and Chihuri as the first and second respondents, respectively.

“The first respondent committed an error of law when he confirmed the decision of the second respondent without a consideration whatsoever of the factors surrounding the matter,” reads the application in part.
