Gweru cop acquitted of stealing from ED farm

A GWERU-BASED policeman who last year was accused of stealing copper cables from President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Precabe Farm in Sherwood, Kwekwe, has been acquitted of the charges.

Musa Mukuli, based at Nehanda Police Station in Mkoba, Gweru, was last week freed of the charges together with three other accused persons William Urayayi, Silas Musindo and James Mulongo.

Kwekwe provincial magistrate Mildred Matuvi ruled that the State had failed to provide evidence that the four had stolen the copper cables from Mnangagwa’s farm.
