@diamondtvzambia: 32-YEAR-OLD MAN ALLEGEDLY KILLED BY SUSPECTED CADRES By Niza Vomo A 32-year-old man of Lusaka's John Laing Township has died after allegedly being assaulted by suspected United Party for National Development (UPND) cadres. The deceased has been identified as Nelson Chikubi. According to his family, Mr Chikubi was allegedly assaulted on Friday, July 3, after repairing a radio for a client. They allege that when the client tested the radio, a song associated with the opposition began playing, prompting suspected UPND cadres to attack him. The family says he was treated and discharged from Chawama Level One Hospital but later developed complications. He was rushed back to the hospital, where he died the following day. When contacted for comment, UPND Deputy Secretary General Getrude Imenda said she could not comment on the matter unless it was in the public domain. Meanwhile, Zambia Police Service Public Relations Officer Godfrey Chilabi says police have instituted investigations into the matter. #NewsOnTheGo
