A South African Crime Intelligence officer, Major General Philani Lushaba was robbed of cash, laptop and firearm by a girl he brought home to spend the night with while his wife was away.
According to a report by News24, Lushaba had told police that he was a victim of a house robbery on August 5 and opened a case of theft at a police station in Tshwane. However, during the course of investigations, it emerged that a sex worker had robbed him.
Lushaba allegedly told police that he left his house on the evening of August 5, and when he returned, he went to bed. He claimed his house was in order, but when he woke up, his cellphone and laptop worth R75 000 were missing. Crime Intelligence agents managed to trace the laptop and firearm, and that’s when the circumstances regarding its disappearance was uncovered.
The Independent Policing Union of South Africa has called on National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola to suspend Lushaba.
