Lilongwe, April 9, Mana: Office of Secretary to President and Cabinet has hailed officers from Lingadzi Police Station in Lilongwe for working professionally and tightening security at Capital Hill.

Director of Administration in the Office of Secretary to President and Cabinet, Maxwell Tsitsi hailed the Station on Monday on behalf of the Secretary to the President and Cabinet (SPC), during an interactive meeting organized by the Office of President and Cabinet (OPC), aimed at appreciating and encouraging the officers for the commendable job they are doing on matters of security at government offices.

His remarks come barely few weeks after Police arrested Black Mussa who was allegedly suspected to have been terrorizing some offices at Capital Hill.

‘’We are pleased that officers at Lingadzi Police Station have come up with different initiatives in order to provide optimum security to the people working at Capital Hill and all government property.

“We would love to see our officers putting more measures and efforts in ensuring security not only here, but the country at large,’’ he said.

Lingadzi Police Station Officer In-Charge, Billy Chimbonga thanked OPC for recognizing their efforts in providing security at Capital Hill and across the country.

“Our officers work around the clock, we didn’t know that they are some people who are recognizing and appreciating our efforts. This is quite commendable and encouraging,” he added.

 The Officer In Charge has since asked private security companies in the country to be very serious and vigilant when employing their security officers by among other things vetting or investigating the behavior or history of the officers they intend to employ.

In March, 2024, Lingadzi Police Station Criminal Investigation Detectives (CID) arrested Black Mussa for allegedly committing a series of break-in incidents at Capital Hill including the offices of the Vice President, Accountant General, Ministry of Finance, Local Government, Economic Planning and Health.
