CJ HAS 2 GUNS, MIGHT KILL HIMSELF - POLICE
MBABANE – Police have vowed to tread carefully should they decide to forcefully enter the Chief Justice, Michael Ramodibedi’s house because he has two guns and there are fears that he could kill himself
Ramodibedi locked himself in his house since Saturday, apparently in an attempt to evade arrest after a warrant for his apprehension was issued for various charges including conflict of interest, abuse of authority, defeating the ends of justice, as well as theft.
Today marks the seventh day since the head of the Judiciary locked himself in his house situated at the judges’ complex at Thembelihle.
There has been various concerns that Ramodibedi could pull the trigger on himself as the operation to get him to surrender intensifies.
Several concerned members of the public have been inundating the police with calls about the safety of the CJ, especially because he had not heeded pleas from the National Commissioner of Police, Isaac Magagula, and Prime Minister Sibusiso Dlamini to surrender himself, with further assurance that he would not be killed as he (CJ) had earlier claimed.
Assistant Superintendent Khulani Mamba, Police Information and Communications Officer, admitted that they had received concerns from the public that the CJ could kill himself, especially because he had two guns in the house.
Mamba said one gun belonged to the CJ while the other to his wife.
Both guns are part of security measures as Ramodibedi holds a high position in the country.
Mamba further confirmed that both weapons were licensed.
“People have been calling the police in fear that he (CJ) might end his life. They are suspecting that he could do this because there are two guns in his house.
