Religious leaders have slammed police bosses for keeping mum about arrests after brutal street violence rocked Lilongwe over two weeks back. Bishop Gilford Matonga from the Public Affairs Committee blasted cops for refusing to update citizens despite crystal clear social media footage showing armed thugs beating innocent people. The interfaith spokesperson demanded answers from officers who watched attackers carry weapons and assault fellow Malawians during the chaotic demonstrations. Police brass have dodged questions about investigations even though video evidence clearly identifies several perpetrators who went on the rampage. Matonga expressed deep frustration that law enforcement remains tight-lipped about bringing violent criminals to justice.
The savage protests left multiple victims nursing serious injuries including Sylvester Nawa who suffered a vicious beating right in front of police and military personnel. Officers from both the Malawi Police Service and Defence Force witnessed the brutal assault but failed to make any arrests despite having front-row seats to the violence. PAC leaders have demanded President Lazarus Chakwera break his silence and explain what his government plans to do about preventing future bloodshed. The religious group wants concrete assurances that the administration values justice and will take firm action to restore law and order across the country. Human Rights Consultative Committee member Robert Nkwezalamba warned that police inaction destroys public trust and sends dangerous signals that violent criminals can escape punishment.
