Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 22902, member: 2262"] A police officer in Zambia let 13 people out of jail on New Year's Eve. The officer was drunk at the time. He took the keys from another officer. He unlocked the cells and told the people inside to go free. The people were in jail for crimes like assault and robbery. The officer ran away after letting them out. The police are now looking for the 13 people who escaped and for the officer who let them go. His name is Titus Phiri. He is a detective. Something like this happened once before in Zambia. In 1997, a judge let 53 people out of jail on New Year's Eve. Some of them were thought to be dangerous. The judge was mad that they had been in jail for so long without going to court. He said this was not fair. Many people in Zambia are talking about what happened this year. Some think it is funny, and others think it is a serious problem. The police want to find everyone who escaped as soon as they can. [/QUOTE]
