LUSAKA. — The Drug Enforcement Agency mounted an afternoon raid on Football Association of Zambia’s base at Football House here yesterday.
DEC officers, armed with a warrant, confiscated equipment from the office of FAZ general-secretary Adrian Kashala.
“The Football Association of Zambia wishes to inform its membership and stakeholders that its operations have been partially paralysed following a raid by Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) officers,” FAZ spokesperson Sydney Mingala said in a statement.
“Drug Enforcement Commission officers descended on the institution this afternoon (Thursday) and got away with a laptop and CPU from the office of the general secretary Adrian Kashala and a desktop from his personal assistant.
“The FAZ officials fully co-operated with the DEC officers and have pledged full compliance with the law enforcement agencies.
“Officers from the Drug Enforcement Commission presented a search warrant looking for drugs and narcotics and other related substances.
“FAZ is, however, disturbed by the nature of the operations conducted by DEC especially that it has set the benchmark of conducting its business above board.
“As FAZ we wish to reiterate that we operate on an open door policy and remain available to whoever wishes to seek information within the law.” – Lusaka Times.
