The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior and Security of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Peter Kazadi, recently held a press conference to address a particularly serious subject. It concerned the tragic murder of a woman and her son, which occurred on Friday May 3 in the commune of Makala, in Kinshasa. Individuals in Congolese national police uniforms are involved in this double homicide, thus sparking strong indignation among the population.
According to Peter Kazadi, the heinous act was allegedly committed by unidentified people wearing police uniforms. A statement that raises questions about the integrity of law enforcement and the safety of citizens. Strongly condemning this tragic incident, the minister assured that in-depth investigations will be carried out to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.
Furthermore, Peter Kazadi specified that the “Black Panthers” operation, led by the National Legion of Intervention (LENI), had the initial objective of apprehending dangerous individuals, in particular kulunas. This operation aimed to strengthen security and fight crime in the Congolese capital. However, recent events have cast a shadow over this endeavor, calling into question the effectiveness and transparency of law enforcement actions.
Furthermore, the Minister of the Interior promised that all necessary measures will be taken to guarantee justice and the security of citizens. He also announced that collaboration with the Ministry of Justice will help establish the truth and ensure that such criminal acts do not go unpunished.
Finally, it is essential that light is shed on this matter and that those responsible are held to account. Confidence in law enforcement must be restored and the population must be assured of their safety.
In short, while the Democratic Republic of Congo is going through a delicate period in terms of security, it is essential that the authorities act with rigor and transparency to preserve public order and protect the population against all forms of violence and impunity.
