The reports reaching Zimtrending show that some mobs in Zambia storming into people's homes gassing people to death. The suspected ritual killers are reported to be using gas to drug people at 5 AM and then they enter the house and kill the occupants.

Another incident was at a  female hostel at Kabwe Nursing School, Zambia  were gassed by unknown people, Central Province Police Commissioner, Chola Katanga has disclosed.

Zimtrending learnt from an online news platform that the motives behind the killing are still to be unveiled.

According to the online publication, the Zambian police said :

We are yet to establish the motive behind the gassing reports because so far all reports received show that nothing was stolen or family members attacked in the process. However, this may be [meat] to instil fear in members of the public. There is no need to panic because as police we have intensified our foot and motorised patrols. The public should also help us with any information that may help us with these cases. I am also warning the public not to take the law into their own hands,” he said

Members of the public with fear have started creating a roadblock in their areas searching motor vehicles on suspicion that they are carrying chemical substances being used in suspected chemical spraying cases currently being experienced in some parts of the currently.

This has even more created commotion in the country as more deaths have been recorded following mob attacks on suspicion of being part of the gang terrorising residents through gassing.

Armed groupings who armed themselves with offensive weapons are moving in communities on the pretext of patrolling but end up harassing innocent people, of which some have died in instant mob justice.
