The controversial Zanu PF youth member Energy Mutodi has claimed that a gruesome hit squad is currently operating throughout the country targeting Zanu PF members perceived to be loyal to Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
"A gruesome hit squad is currently operating throughout the country targeting Zanu PF members perceived to be loyal to Mnangagwa and in support of his alleged presidential ambitions," he said.
"Financed by a former convict and self-proclaimed tycoon who has made headlines in the recent days for corruptly obtaining tenders, the hit squad that is reportedly loyal to a Generation 40 faction has already carried out successful missions."
Mutodi said Espinah Nhari, a prominent Zanu PF women's league member who was secretary for administration died in a mysterious accident, while an Indian businessman and some war veterans have also fallen victim according to reports.
"An operative holding on to a list of targeted individuals has not responded to calls since morning. Be warned. If you are a politician, activist or journalist belonging to or perceived to be loyal to an anti-G40 faction," he said.
"Death or serious injury can occur at any time. Take measures to protect yourself by not hanging out in late hours, answering unknown calls, attending meetings in private places organized even by close friends, asking for a lift from strangers or familiar individuals not directly related to you, traveling long distances while alone or without an escort and traveling home almost at a fixed time while making stop overs."
Mutodi said if booked in a hotel, do not hire anyone into room and always alert hotel security of your vulnerable situation.
"So far, four Harare hotels are unsafe. Sometimes assailants may use innocent looking baits to lure a victim. Be clever and do not associate with strangers even if they appear kind or beautiful to you or even if they say they once met you. Death occurs unexpectedly so always be vigilant. You are in the midst of war," he said.
