A former police officer who got arrested after he testified against his ex-workmates in an inquest has petitioned President Robert Mugabe's Office and Cabinet to intervene and order police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri to compensate him for unlawful arrest.
Farayi Bazil Nyapokota was in 2011 arrested and kicked out of his official residence at Ross Camp after he testified against fellow police officers during an inquest into the murder of two suspected armed robbers while in custody.
Irked by the decision, Nyapokoto sought recourse at the High Court before Justice Lawrence Kamocha ruled in his favour and awarded him $50 000 as damages and further $6 400 being legal costs incurred, but Chihuri did not comply with the order.
