CIOs up for torturing Budiriro man

A BUDIRO man was severely assaulted and tortured by suspected  Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) officers before being handed over to the police on charges of plotting to topple President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

This emerged in court yesterday when Taurayi Ernest Munyika (48) appeared before Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi facing assault and torture charges.

The court heard that on October 13, 2022 at around 1600 hours, Munyika and his accomplices went to Johane Masowe Yechishanu Yenyenyedzi Nomwe Church shrine in Budiriro 4 and requested to see Herbert Thabo Senda after identifying themselves as CIOs.
