Police dismiss claims of Bindura State University student abduction

Police have dismissed social media reports claiming that Bindura State University student Tafara Baynes Magodora was abducted, saying he was in fact arrested for assault.

In a statement posted on X, the Zimbabwe Republic Police said the circulating reports were misleading.

"Reference is made to social media reports alleging the kidnapping of a university student, Tafara Baynes Magodora. The ZRP sets the record straight that Tafara Magodora was arrested in Bindura on March 30 for assaulting a fellow student at the campus on March 28. He has since paid an admission of guilt fine and is not in police custody," police said.
