POLICE spokesperson Bonny Kapeso yesterday said the police are still investigating a few things in the case where Dunamis pastor Reverend Dan Pule was allegedly swindled out of US$62,000. Kapeso said there was a twist from the information that was given at first and the people who were in custody had been released on police bond.

"We are investigating one or two things," he said.

Rev Pule two weeks ago claimed that he had been swindled out of US$62,000 in a transaction where he alleged that he had been sold fake gold stones.

Rev Pule later said fake gold sellers did personally not swindle him out of US$62,000 but a company in which he is a director lost $42,000 in the deal.

Rev Pula said a company called United Minerals and Energy Zambia Limited, which he formed with some South Africans, is the one that lost money amounting to $42,000 and not $62,000 as reported through the gemstones conmen.

However, one of the accused men in the matter David Mwambazi last week disclosed that Rev Pule assisted them to bring the gold into the country from the Chirundu border.
