Police boss Matibiri’s impostor arrested

A MATIBIRI family member yesterday appeared at the Harare Magistrates’ Court facing allegations of impersonating Police Deputy Commissioner-General Innocent Matibiri.

Dominic Murefu Matibiri (36) of Musiiwa village under Chief Zvimba, pleaded not guilty when he appeared before magistrate Josephine Sande and was remanded in custody to August 10.

It is the State’s case that sometime in July this year, the complainant in the matter, Chief Superintendent Edmore Bakayidza, who is stationed at Harare traffic headquarters, received a phone call from Dominic, who introduced himself as the deputy commissioner.
