Fatshimetrie, July 6, 2024 – The fight against urban banditry remains at the heart of concerns in Bandalungwa, a central commune of Kinshasa. Faced with a worrying increase in crime, the police authorities have taken major measures to put an end to these criminal acts.
Major Michel Mbuyi Mukendi, commander of the Congolese National Police in Bandalungwa, announced the establishment of intensive night and day patrols. These operations aim to effectively reduce cases of banditry from surrounding communes such as Bumbu, Ngiri-Ngiri, Camp Luka in Kintambo, and Selembao. These incursions fuel the Bandalungwa district and greatly disrupt the lives of its inhabitants.
Close collaboration with the population is essential in this fight against insecurity. The support of the authorities of the Lieutenant-Colonel Kokolo military camp is also essential to strengthen the efforts of the local police. Together, they hope to stem the tide of criminals and protect the residents of Bandalungwa.
The installation of a sub-police container near the “Wenze ya Baluba” market has already shown satisfactory results in creating a feeling of security among local residents. This reinforced police presence constitutes a first victory in the fight against banditry in the town.
The outlying neighborhoods of Bandalungwa, such as Bumbu, Ngiri-Ngiri, Camp Luka and Selembao, are now in the authorities’ sights. Night and day patrols aim to deter criminals and restore peace and quiet in these sensitive areas.
In conclusion, collaboration between the police, the population and local authorities is essential to eradicate urban banditry in Bandalungwa. Through concrete actions such as intensive patrols, the establishment of surveillance posts and raising awareness among all, it is possible to restore the security and peace of mind of the inhabitants of this commune of Kinshasa.
