In a recent development, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has entered a nolle prosequi in a case where Sederick Kasanda and co-accused were facing charges of obtaining money by false pretenses. The case, involving Kasanda, Dominic Twinjika, Treasure Malandala, and Luwowoshi Mining Limited, was brought before the Lusaka Magistrate’s Court.
The charges against the accused include the alleged deception of a South African individual, with the intent to deceive, claiming they had 107 kilograms of gold for sale. The prosecution contended that the accused obtained $16,000 in cash through false pretenses.
The decision by the DPP to enter a nolle prosequi indicates a determination not to proceed with the prosecution at this time. The announcement came during the court session held this morning.
The case had initially involved Sederick Kasanda, Dominic Twinjika, Treasure Malandala, and Luwowoshi Mining Limited, jointly charged in connection with the alleged false pretenses and financial dealings. The nolle prosequi entered by the DPP brings a significant development to the legal proceedings, and the reasons behind this decision are yet to be disclosed.
As the case takes an unexpected turn, observers and legal experts will be closely monitoring any future developments or statements from the prosecution or defense regarding the nolle prosequi and its implications on the charges against the accused.
