Deputy National Police Spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Blessmore Chishaka, confirmed the arrests and noted that the investigation is still ongoing. He emphasized the importance of resolving disputes peacefully and urged the public to exercise restraint in conflicts.

He stressed that peaceful resolution is crucial and highlighted the role of public cooperation in maintaining order and addressing conflicts constructively. The arrest of the three women underscores the legal consequences of violent behavior and serves as a reminder of the importance of non-violent conflict resolution methods in maintaining community harmony.
