Lilongwe, February 5 (MaraviPost): One of the well known business men in Lilongwe Rashid Adam Sauzande who runs Ambassador Rest house in the city has been arrested by the Police after being found in possession of Indian hemp.
According to Kingsly Dandaula who is the Public Relation Officer for Lilongwe Police Station, the arrest was made on February 2, 2015 after the police’s Criminal Investigation Department conducted a search at his office which is also located at the rest house.
Dandaula revealed to Media that the search was conducted following suspicions that Sauzande could be involved with drugs.
“The search at his office which is at the Devil Street was conducted at around 10 o’clock in morning and we found six cobs of chamba (Indian hemp). We subsequently brought him to Lilongwe station for questioning.
“The Indian hemp was sent to Chitedze Research Station for tests and still waiting for result said Dandaula,” said Dandaula.
As we went to press, Mana on Tuesday witnessed the proceedings of the case in the court in Lilongwe where state prosecutors described the drug as a dangerous drug.
His case was supposed to be heard today. This came despite complaints from the suspect to have his case heard because according to him, he was sick and in need of special medical treatment.
