The suspected human-crocodile that terrorizes people of Kasama’s Safwa area along the Chambeshi River in Northern Province is said to be undressing humans before killing them.
And speaking to Mano News, Safwa Pontoon Operator Osward Chanda disclosed that it is surprising to note that the said reptile which has claimed eight lives since 2012 only targets young men.
Chanda further disclosed that the notorious crocodile does not kill in the water, but takes its human prey on dry lands.
He added that the Zambia World Life Authority-ZAWA working in collaboration of the locals only managed to trap and kill the female one.
In December last year Chief Nkolemfumu’s secretary Benson Chibeka confirmed that two residents of Kasama’s Safwa area were killed by a crocodile on separate incidents
And in April last year, Kasama District commissioner, Kalanga Bwalya told mano news that three people were killed by a crocodile at Safwa pontoon along the Chambeshi River.
Inhabitants of Safwa area in Kasama have been living in fear of crocodiles since 2012 and so far eight have been killed.
