Mr Mulenga said the matter came to the attention of the police when Kamwi Sinvula, 49, an employee at Chembe District Council reported the matter to police.

Meanwhile, Congolese soldiers and their fisheries counterpart have apprehended two Zambian fishermen for fishing during the fish ban period.

Mr Mulenga named the two as Kashiba Chansa, 38, and John Mpundu, 48, both of Lwafwe village in Chief Lukwesa’s area in Mwense district.
