MDC MP, motorist arrested for running out of fuel by bogus police commissioner

 A top MDC official and legislator Jasmine Toffa (proportional representation) was on  Monday evening arrested by a group of police for assisting a motorist who had been arrested for  running out of fuel in the idle of the road.

An in-identified fake Commissioner of police arrested the poor motorist before unleashing a dozen of junior cops to also arrest Toffa.

Below is Toffa's narration to MDC members on Tuesday evening:

"This is madness. Detective blocks us on five street not even five minutes after dropping Sibhutha after our Provincial meeting.

"There was a guy in one Lane that had run out of fuel and this Inspector was parked in the second Lane meaning we could not pass and he was hurling insults at this guy that had run out of fuel.

"So on asking him to move his car screams that he is a commissioner so I asked commissioner of what? Can you move your car are you commissioner of the road or commissioner of oaths.

"He would not move so I saw  a gap in the parking and stopped the car and this guy's was at pains explaining that he ran out of fuel and this man was man handling him.

"Next thing we just saw police cars, cops got out with hand calls movie style cuffed the driver and took him away.

"This guy then quickly asked me to call his wife gave me her  number I said this is abuse of power as I tried to call his wife and explained what had happened.

"When I looked again I was surrounded by cops and they said they had come back for me for saying nonsense to the Commissioner of police and obstructing traffic and the duty of police of  duty.

"Linda and I were  taken to central where we  met the so-called commissioner waiting in the parking as hysterical as ever saying he wants to educate me.

"I was taken up dark stairs. Linda was stopped at the bottom of the stairs.  Up there I was interrogated, accused of being drunk and behaving like Tabitha Khumalo (MDC-T MP) I was accused of being drunk I told them to get ten breathalysers and test all they can.

"He said the opposition has hate for cops and it should stop. I was released no charged".

"When the cops went to pick up his car they had to go back get a container put five litres of fuel. The guy was sincere yet they claim they were arresting a criminal. It all just does not make sense. The man it turns out is not even a commissioner".
