Muloza Police Post has temporarily closed and suspects have been transferred to Mulanje Police Station.

National Police Spokesperson Peter Kalaya has confirmed the development.

He was, however, quick to say the “police have just stopped operating from a building, but they continue to render services to the public”.

A senior police officer confirmed they are now operating from a lodge. He declined to name the lodge.

A source in the area said police started transferring the suspects, their families and property to Mulanje Boma from Monday due to Cyclone Freddy’s induced floods.

The cyclone has also crippled Malawi Revenue Authority’s operations at Muloza Border in the district.

The rains have since reduced in intensify in some districts of Southern Region as the cyclone folds and started retreating back to Indian Ocean.
