Police, in collaboration with other law enforcement wings and the Zambia Defence Force, have enhanced measures to safeguard the lives and property of citizens.
Inspector General of Police, Graphel Musamba, says individuals found in possession of military wear, guns, and offensive weapons will be arrested.
Mr. Musamba has also urged the textile industry, traders, and members of the general public to refrain from engaging in unlicensed manufacturing, trading, and wearing of military regalia.
He says possession of firearms or offensive weapons, including machetes, intended to endanger the lives of others will result in immediate arrest and prosecution.
Mr. Musamba has further urged the public against painting motor vehicles in camouflage patterns that resemble the colors and designs of either the Defence Force or law enforcement agencies.
