Kabwata cop dies 10 minutes after falling ill while on duty

KABWATA Police Station in Lusaka is mourning a young and dedicated Police officer who died while on duty on Tuesday evening.

According to his workmates, Constable Ezra Tembo aged 26 years reported for his nightshift duties at 18:00 but complained of being breathless around 21:00 hours before he began bleeding and vomiting.

Noticing how quickly Constable Tembo seemed to have been deteriorating, his colleagues rushed him to Kabwata Clinic just across the the road but unfortunately he did not make the short trip.

Constable Tembo was pronounced dead on arrival at the clinic, less than 10 minutes after falling ill.

He will be buried in Kafue tomorrow, the place where he grew up.

Last December, a video of Constable Tembo who has served the Zambia Police Service for five years went viral as he gave chase to one Ben Lombe after she escaped from police custody.
