Authorities in the Zambezi Region are searching for seven inmates who broke out of the Ngoma Police Station holding cells earlier today.
According to police officials, the escape was executed by cutting through the roof of the holding cell before the group used blankets to climb out and flee the premises.
The fugitives include six Zambian nationals and one Namibian. They have been identified as Mainga Kunyanda, Joseph Munalula, Makai Samutela, Simasiku Sikwezi, Mushe Simasiku, Moonga Kahiyata and Kwalela Namushi.
Police suspect the group is moving in the direction of Luhonono, possibly attempting to cross the border back into Zambia.
Zambezi police commander, Commissioner Andreas Shilelo, has urged communities, especially farmers near the Zambezi River, to remain alert and immediately report any suspicious individuals or activities.
