GUNMEN on Sunday stormed Shinde Stadium in Mufulira and robbed Super League side Mufulira Wanderers of more than K180,000 in gate takings, shortly after their league match against Nchanga Rangers.
Wanderers had played to a 1–0 defeat against George Lwandamina’s Rangers, but a more painful loss awaited them an hour later when the club was robbed of funds raised from the match.
In a statement, club president George Katongo confirmed that the incident occurred at 18:00hrs, shortly after the defeat to Rangers.
“Armed robbers held members of staff at gunpoint and made away with cash amounting to K181,000, which had been realized from gate takings.
“The assailants also hijacked a Toyota Harrier, registration number AIF 4314, belonging to our Logistics Manager, Mr. Patrick Mwanza, which was to be used to transport the cash to Mopani Security for safe keeping,” Mr Katongo said.
He added that gunshots were fired to scare away people in the vicinity before the suspects fled the scene.
Police were immediately alerted, and a manhunt was launched. Mr Mwanza’s vehicle was later recovered after the suspects abandoned it, but they fled with the money.
Mr Katongo said police are currently working tirelessly to apprehend the culprits and bring them to justice.
