| 2017-12-19 |
| [All Africa] A bogus CIO spy who landed in the dock on allegations of taking a firearm to events attended by President Emmerson Mnangagwa will spend Christmas holidays behind bars after he was denied bail by a Harare magistrate. Guthrie Chirodzero, 40, was remanded in jug to December 28 by magistrate Rumbidzai Mugwagwa who ruled that he was a danger to the society. Chirodzero is on charges of taking a firearm to a public gathering, impersonation and forgery after he was also caught in possession of fake Central Intelligence Officer's (CIO), Zim-bob-we Anticorruption Commission identity cards and a fake driver's licence. According to the state, Chirodzero attended the swearing in of new cabinet ministers by Mnangagwa. It is alleged that he went on to position himself close to the President while pretending to be a CIO officer. Chirodzero had used the fake ID's to gain entry into the State House. On December 6, armed with the same fake cards and a pistol, Chirodzero went to Josiah Magamba Tongogara army barracks where the Zanu PF leader was officiating at the renaming of the former KGVI facility. |
