WHY MILES SAMPA? A DISSECTION OF BOTH THE GRUESOME MURDER OF RUTH MBANDU AND THE MYSTERIOUS ABDUCTION OF PAMELA CHISUMPA AND TWELVE OTHER LADIES

5th October, 2022 – Lusaka
RUTH Mbandu, a 19-year old student at National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA) was killed on 13th July, 2012 in Matero Constituency, Lusaka. A lethal drug was allegedly administered on Mbandu before she was raped, her eyes were poked out and her facial skin peeled off. Her killing sent cold chills in the spines of many people and to this day, many people remain shocked at this macabre killing of an innocent soul.
Police investigations into the case were instituted and Miles Sampa, area MP at the time and still is today, became strangely interested in the case, to an extent that the Police started reporting directly to him. No sooner did the investigations start than he pledged K15, 000 to anyone with information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the murderers.
The case dragged on and the Police could not issue concrete information regarding the people behind the murder of Mbandu.

After some months, the case Head of Investigation Solomon Jere announced that the Police were winding up the case, a high profile politician was involved in Ruth Mbandu’s murder and they would wrap the investigations and bring the murderer to book. This was, shockingly stopped by top PF leadership, Jere went quiet and no one bothered to ask what happened.
Immediately, rumour went round that Miles Sampa was involved. Sampa happened to be nephew to the then incumbent President Mr Michael Chilufya Sata.
More and more rumors started making rounds. One of these being that the late Ruth Mbandu was pregnant for Mile’s Sampa at the time of her death.

It has now been twenty years down the line, the barbaric murderers of Mbandu remain unknown. Attempts to sacrifice some people by arresting them in connection with Mbandu’s death ended in a nolle prosequi. Todate, the heartless killers of Ruth Mbandu are still walking the streets freely.
A few days ago on 3rd October, 2022, Pamela Chisumpa, a mobile money agent who was abducted within Lusaka some six months ago was rescued together with twelve other victims. Ironically, Miles Sampa is all over: on social media, on the floor of the National Assembly and so on offering to support the abduction victims and reward the neighbors who helped rescue them. Question is: Why Miles Sampa?
