Friday, June 25, 2021

Extension II Senior magistrate, Lentlhabetse Willie on Tuesday denied police constable, Emmanuel Mmoloki bail. Mmoloki is a police officer who is attached to the paramilitary wing of the Botswana Police Service (BPS), the Special Support Group (SSG), and is alleged to have recently stolen weapons and ammunition. He had gone for his regular mention at the Court.

Mmoloki is charged with stealing by a person employed in the public service. Even though the State did not oppose the bail application, Willie said the State needs time to try to recover the missing weapons and ammunition.

On Tuesday, public prosecutor King Tshebo told the Court that investigations were still ongoing and the police were yet to recover about 10 missing weapons.
