**Fatshimetrie**: In pursuit of the escapees from Makala Central Prison
A letter is circulating on the offices of the Attorneys General, issued by Firmin Mvonde, the Attorney General at the Court of Cassation. Its content leaves no room for doubt, the urgency is palpable: find the escaped prisoners from Makala Central Prison who have reoffended or committed new crimes. A relentless hunt is launched to apprehend them and bring them to justice.
According to the letter, these individuals, illegally released from their detention, have been active for nearly three weeks, committing various misdeeds. The authorities are talking about extortion, robberies, and even attacks on human life. Repeat crimes that plunge the city of Kinshasa into fear and disarray.
Among the wanted criminals, the name of Ifombo Engeya Moise, alias Tshululu Kagame, stands out. Sentenced to death for criminal association, he reoffends with a new conviction, this time for attempted murder, extortion and escape. Another shocking case is that of Kabamba Blaise, a magistrate convicted of corporal torture on a lady. Barbaric acts that shook public opinion and fueled the anger of society.
In his letter, the Attorney General deplores these escapes and insists on respecting the rules surrounding conditional releases. He recalls that any person released in violation of these conditions is considered to have escaped in the eyes of the law. Despite these reprehensible actions, Firmin Mvonde affirms the determination of the public prosecutor to continue its mission of repressing offenses, without weakening.
The reaction of the Minister of Justice, Constant Mutamba, to this situation is measured but firm. He states that conditional releases are part of the regularization of prisons, in accordance with the new prison law. For him, the humanization of prisons and respect for the rights of prisoners must take precedence, while ensuring the safety of the population.
Ultimately, the hunt for escapees from Makala Central Prison is launched. The judicial and prison authorities are joining forces to apprehend these criminals on the run and bring them back to justice. A quest for justice and security that demonstrates the resilience of the judicial system in the face of these reprehensible acts.
