Police in Kabweza, Zambia have arrested a man accused of s3xually abusing his two young daughters, aged 4 and 7, in a case that has left the community deeply concerned.
Kafue Council Chairperson Dr. Buumba Malambo disclosed that the matter came to light after a nurse at Kabweza Clinic alerted authorities when the children were brought in by their 20-year-old elder sister.
The sister had reportedly gone to check on the girls after their mother left the home following a marital dispute.
Upon arrival, the elder sister became concerned about the children’s condition and sought medical attention.
Health personnel observed signs consistent with possible abuse, prompting immediate involvement from law enforcement.
The minors complained that their father had been s3xually abusing them every day; morning ,afternoon and night starting the very day the mother ran away.
“Meaning the whole month he had been sexually abusing them. He would abuse them sometimes together and forced them to do all kinds of evil things,” Dr Malambo said.
Dr. Malambo further indicated that the suspect was apprehended by a joint response team, while the children were placed in protective care as investigations continue.
Authorities have since emphasized the importance of safeguarding children and encouraged community members to remain vigilant and report any suspected cases of abuse.
The incident has sparked renewed calls for stronger child protection measures and greater awareness to ensure the safety and wellbeing of minors.
In a video posted by Dr. Malambo, an elderly neighbour revealed that the suspect used to abuse the older daughter when she was a child.
“This neighbor narrates how the biological father used to abuse the older daughter when she was younger right in front of the mother and later continued with the babies ,from this I can safely say women we need to step up and not be part of this vicious s3xual abuse cycle,” he wrote.
