In a bizarre incident, a drunken police officer in Zambia, Detective Inspector Titus Phiri, was arrested after he freed 13 suspects from custody to allow them to celebrate the new year. The suspects, accused of crimes including assault and robbery, are now on the run following the officer’s actions at the Leonard Cheelo police station in Lusaka. The police spokesperson confirmed the officer forcibly took keys and released the detainees. Public reactions have drawn parallels to a similar historical incident from 1997.
