POLICE have dismissed as fake reports circulating on social media about the arrest of 50 Namibian nationals allegedly hibernating in several Zimbabwean military camps.

National police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi in a statement said investigations conducted by relevant police commanders across the country revealed that there is no such issue.

“Checks with relevant police commanders and provinces have revealed that no such occurrence has been noted in the country. The fake and false statement is dismissed with the contempt it deserves. The purported Press statement is crafted in a manner not conforming to Zimbabwe Republic Police standards or format,” said Comm Nyathi.

He said police are aware of the intentions and motives of the criminals or unruly elements.

“Investigation will certainly be intensified to account for the criminals who are obviously trying to disturb the peaceful environment obtaining in the country and in the process send false information to the country’s neighbours,” said Comm Nyathi.
