A notorious drug dealer who initially escaped an arrest at the Drug Enforcement Commission DEC’s offices in Lusaka with a loaded gun has been charged with seven counts of drug trafficking and escape from lawful custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This <\/a>follows his arrest by the DEC on Tuesday last week at one of the luxurious hotels in Lusaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to sources at the Commission, the suspect has also been slapped with another count of illegal possession of fire arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when contacted for a comment, DEC Public Relations Officer Hussein Khan says the Commission will issue a statement on Tuesday December 27, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2022, CCTV video footage leaked showing how the suspect escaped the Commission’s Money Laundering Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the incident, the suspect snatched a gun from DEC officers, which has since been recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
