CIO agents arrested at Mujuru farm

As the savage assault on former VP Joice Mujuru and her perceived allies intensifies and gets dirtier, six people, two of them suspected to be members of the dreaded secret service, were allegedly caught snooping at her Beatrice farm last Friday.

Several sources said the intruders, who were apparently driving a private vehicle, were allegedly caught gathering information on sprawling farm just outside Harare.

"The group claimed to be relatives of the Mujuru family, but when they were quizzed by security, they demonstrated that they did not know any of Mai Mujuru's relatives," one of the well-placed sources said.

The intruders were later detained at Beatrice Police Station over the weekend, after failing to convince anyone what their real mission was.

However a senior police officer claimed to be unaware of the arrests yesterday-even though his junior confirmed the development.
