Three men were arrested in Harare for illegally possessing a gun.
The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) announced on X that Misheck Takawira Njowa (24), Jonas Daniel Mubaiwa (22), and Shadreck Njowa (20) were convicted and sentenced by a Harare magistrate for unlawful possession of a firearm.
In December 2023, they were arrested on charges of motor vehicle robbery. A search conducted after their arrest led to the recovery of an AK-47 rifle wrapped in sack material.
The three men failed to produce a firearm certificate for the rifle, resulting in a 10-month prison sentence, with 4 months suspended, leaving each with a 6-month term behind bars.
