Police nab Lusaka teen for using AI to dress civilians with Army uniforms

A LUSAKA teenager who with the help of Artificial Intelligence promoted himself to commander without ever undergoing training and giving ranks to civilians through the technology, has been given a reality check and demoted physically to police cell floors.

Daudi Ng'ambi, who is currently behind bars was nabbed over identity theft and impersonation involving an AI-generated image of a local musician dressed in a Zambia Army uniform.

According to a statement issued by police spokesperson Godfrey Chilabi, the matter was reported at Kabwata Police Station yesterday by Charles Chomba, 24, a local musician of Jack Compound.

Chomba reported that between September 25 and 28, 2026, an individual created an image depicting him wearing a Zambia Army uniform bearing the rank of Brigadier General.

He said the image was subsequently circulated on Facebook and later came to the attention of the Zambia Army.

“During joint investigations, the Zambia Police Service, in collaboration with the Military Police, identified Daudi Ngambi, 19, of John Howard Compound in Lusaka, as a suspect,” Chilabi said.

Chilabi said the image is uspected to have been generated using artificial intelligence (AI).

He warned members of the public against misusing AI-generated or digitally manipulated content, particularly material involving defence and security institutions.

Chilabi said such content could undermine public confidence, facilitate impersonation and misinformation, and create security concerns by falsely portraying individuals as members or officers of security institutions.

He urged members of the public to exercise caution and responsibility when creating, sharing or circulating digitally manipulated content and to verify information before sharing it.

Chilabi further warned that creating or circulating digitally manipulated content for unlawful purposes could attract criminal liability under applicable laws.

He said the police would provide further updates as investigations progress.

Mr. MWEWA took the oath of office before Chief Resident Magistrate NDHANDOSE CHABALA.

Speaking during the swearing-in ceremony today, Lusaka Town Clerk OLIVER MUUKA described the occasion as a solemn and historic moment for the city.

Mr. MUUKA said the ceremony was not merely symbolic, but a legal requirement under the Local Government Act Number 2 of 2019, read together with Article 260 of the Constitution.

He said public office is both a privilege and a responsibility, requiring leaders to protect and promote effective service delivery.

Mr. MUUKA urged Mr. MWEWA to serve the Zambian people with dedication and uphold the responsibilities that come with public office.

POLICE DETAIN SUSPECT IN IDENTITY THEFT AND IMPERSONATION CASE INVOLVING IMAGE OF ZAMBIA ARMY UNIFORM

October 7, 2026 – The Zambia Police Service has instituted investigations into a case of identity theft and impersonation involving an image circulating on social media. The image is suspected to have been AI-generated and depicts a local musician dressed in a Zambia Army uniform.

One suspect has been apprehended and is currently in police custody in connection with the matter.

The matter was reported at Kabwata Police Station on October 6, 2026, by Charles Chomba, aged 24, a local musician of Jack Compound in Lusaka.
It is alleged that between September 25 and 28, 2026, an individual created an image depicting Chomba wearing a Zambia Army uniform bearing the rank of Brigadier General. The image was subsequently circulated on Facebook and came to the attention of the Zambia Army.

The Zambia Police Service, in collaboration with the Military Police, identified Daudi Ngambi, 19, of John Howard Compound in Lusaka, as a suspect during joint investigations. He was subsequently apprehended and remains in police custody as investigations continue.

The Zambia Police Service strongly warns members of the public that the misuse of AI-generated or digitally manipulated content, particularly content involving defence and security institutions, can undermine public confidence, facilitate impersonation and misinformation, and create security concerns by falsely portraying individuals as members or officers of security institutions.

Members of the public are therefore urged to exercise caution and responsibility when creating, sharing or circulating such content and to verify information before sharing it. The creation or circulation of digitally manipulated content for unlawful purposes may attract criminal liability under applicable laws.

Further updates will be provided as investigations progress.

Chitambala Mwewa to be installed as Mayor of Lusaka today

LUSAKA Mayor-elect Chitambala Mwewa is set to be officially installed as Mayor of Lusaka today at 14:00 hours.

The installation ceremony, which was initially scheduled for September 24, 2026, was postponed by the Lusaka City Council, with the Council saying a new date would be communicated in due course.

The ceremony has now been rescheduled for today, October 7, 2026, with the installation expected to take place at the Lusaka Civic Centre.

Mwewa's installation did not proceed on September 24 because his election was at the time the subject of a legal challenge.

NRPUP mayoral candidate Gabriel Kibombwe, who finished second with 195,041 votes against Mwewa's 200,029, had petitioned the Local Government Elections Tribunal, challenging Mwewa's election.

On September 24, the Tribunal ordered the Electoral Commission of Zambia to produce documents relating to the August mayoral election and make an ECZ witness available. The parties subsequently agreed to withdraw the petition by consent.

The Tribunal then granted the withdrawal, leaving Mwewa as the duly elected Mayor of Lusaka.

Today, the mayor-elect is therefore expected to swear in this morning and finally take office in a formal installation ceremony.
