FLASHBACK : GBM ready to pay Witchdoctors to catch Mailoni brothers : October 3, 2012
Defence Minister Geoffrey Mwamba has said that he is ready to use his personal money to engage a witchdoctor who will apprehend the illusive Mailoni brothers.
The Mailoni brothers have been on the run over the last six years after allegedly killing a number of people in the Luano valley.
All efforts by the security and defence wing to catch the serial killers have proved unsuccessful and recently a traditional leader in the area appealed to Government to consider hiring witchdoctors to help find the killer brothers.
And in an interview, Mr. Mwamba who is commonly known as GBM said that he was ready to personally fund the activities of the witchdoctor who is willing to help catch the Mailoni brothers.
“Government wants to use all avenues to bring to book Mailoni brothers and am willing to use my own resources and if it means hiring witchdoctors, am ready to pay,” Mr. Mwamba said.
“I want the people of Luano Valley to live in peace, am calling upon any witchdoctor who has the ability to catch these killers to come forward and see me,” he said.
