Police in Mulanje have arrested a 38-year-old man, Evance Banda, for allegedly duping two Mozambicans a total of K950,000 by offering them charms to multiply their money.

Mulanje Police spokesperson, Gresham Ngwira, says on September 21, 2021 police officers on duty along Mulanje-Muloza Road met two Mozambicans carrying two cartons which they claimed contained money.

After opening the cartons, it was discovered that there were just some “money dust”, a thing that also surprised the two.

They revealed to Police that on Saturday, September 18, 2021, Banda gave them some charms, which he said would help multiply their money.

Ngwira said the law enforcers later arrested Banda and recovered over K300,000 out of the K950,000 he had received from the two victims.
