Zambia Times Tuesday 01 Mar 2011 DEC public relations manager John Nyawali said among those arrested was a 31-year-old peasant farmer of Chisuta Village in Chief Mwenda's area in Mazabuka District who cultivated 2.1 tonnes of fresh cannabis. Mr Nyawali said in a statement in Lusaka yesterday that Strady Kaile intercropped the cannabis with maize to avoid detection but was arrested after officers conducted an operation in the area. In Mumbwa District in Central Province, the commission arrested two peasant farmers for trafficking in more than one tonne of fresh cannabis. "Those arrested are Patrick Chanda, 69, and Clever Shamang'ombe, 30 who together cultivated 1.1 tonne of cannabis which was intercropped with maize and cotton plants," he said. Mr Nyawali said also arrested in Lusaka for trafficking in pure grade cocaine was a business executive of Kanyama Township. Mr Nyawali said Fredrick Sinyangwe, 20, was nabbed from the town centre as he attempted to sell the narcotic drugs to some people. He said all the suspects were detained in Police custody and would appear in court soon. Meanwhile, the Lusaka Magistrate court has sentenced two youths of Lusaka to nine months imprisonment with hard labour for trafficking in cocaine.
