Sécurité à Lubumbashi : 59 interpellations lors d’un bouclage majeur à Kampemba

On Wednesday, March 25, 2026, the commune of Kampemba was the scene of a large-scale security operation. Conducted in the Cité des Jeunes neighborhood by the Congolese National Police (PNC) with the support of the FARDC, this intervention resulted in the arrest of 59 suspected criminals , including two women.

Under the direction of Divisional Commissioner Blaise Kilimbalimba , law enforcement targeted residences identified as criminal hideouts. The suspects are believed to be involved in a range of serious crimes, including armed robbery, extortion, assault, and sexual violence.

"The results obtained today constitute an important step forward in the prevention of insecurity," said General Kilimbalimba, specifying that these actions are in line with the vision of interim governor Martin Kazembe.

This operation follows an initial intervention on March 23 at the Kalebuka bridge, where 28 other individuals were apprehended. While the population welcomes this renewed activity, the challenge now lies with the justice system : ensuring that these arrests lead to firm convictions to prevent a cycle of swift releases.
