USA donor paid Dzamara $200 000 before he was 'abducted'

A lawyer representing abducted political activist, Itai Dzamara of Occupy Africa Unity Square, says they have approached the courts to seek an order to compel the police and other security agents to find him.

Dzamara disappeared more than 83 days ago and the government has professed ignorance over his whereabouts amid allegations that he was allegedly abducted by Central Intelligence Organization (CIO) agents.

Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa once told parliament that the state has no clue on what happened to the activist, who was calling on President Robert Mugabe to step down for allegedly failing to properly run the country.

Charles Kwaramba, a member of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, says police and CIO agents are not doing enough to find Dzamara.

The High Court ruled that these government arms should look for Dzamara and publicize their findings.

Meanwhile, the investigation into abducted activist Itai Dzamara's disappearance has opened a can of worms amid revelations of bitter fighting between Dzamara and a group of his friends in the Occupy African Unity Square organisation, Zim Eye reports.

Investigations have revealed what the Police could have easily obtained as evidence in studying the man's disappearance.

There are three peripheral points into this investigation and they are: first of all digital footprints on the activist's email, and social networking websites. Secondly there are witness statements from close friends who were with him before the abduction; and thirdly there are phone records before and after the incident.

This investigation looks into scuffles revealed through Dzamara's official social networking portal hours before he disapparead.

*There is one unreported key matter on circumstances around Dzamara before his abduction and this discovery proposes that his friends utilised personal connections in the CIO to abduct him so to make him cough out money, a $200,000 cheque they claimed he had received from a US donor. This they wanted to at the least to share among themselves but were more concerned that Dzamara would spend the money on his own or with his Tsvangirai connections as he was now going onto provate meetings with the MDC-T leader . According to this investigation, when they failed to obtain access, the friends then utilised nefarious elements within the Central Intelligence Organisation to put Dzamara under pressure as according to an earlier find after he failed to release that money. Evidence of the 200,  000 allegation, have been spotted in Whatsapp and email chats between a man (Name Withheld) and a CIO agent working on Dzamara at the time.

There is strong evidence to support this proposition and this is seen in that late Friday afternoon barely three days before he was abducted, a furious colleague of his wrote on Facebook announcing to the rest of the OAUS group that Dzamara had been suspended for breaching the organisation's code of conduct by jumping into bed with compromised individuals, referring to MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

Soon after this allegation and the announcement were posted online, Dzamara would ascend to the forum a few hours later fighting back tooth and nail saying that no one can suspend him.

"This is a joke," he announced.

That forum chat has since disappeared from the Facebook website, amid suspicion that the culprits did this on purpose to cover up for their crime.

However, the fight lasted into the late hours of Sunday nine hours before he disappeared.
