Zambia’s broadcasting regulator boss Guntila Muleya shot *****

Police are investigating the abduction and ******* of Zambia’s newly appointed broadcasting regulator chief.

Guntila Muleya’s body was discovered on the outskirts of the capital, Lusaka, on Wednesday with gunshot wounds.

His ****** has shocked people especially as the motive is unknown and as **** ********* is not common in the southern ******** nation.

Police believe the director general of the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) was kidnapped after leaving work on Tuesday.

The IBA is responsible for licensing, standards and enforcing compliance.

When Mr Muleya ******* to return home on Tuesday night, his family alerted the police and began to search for him.

His body was discovered by a member of the public as he was on his way to work, the police said.

Two bullet cartridges were also found at the scene.

“I want to assure the nation on this sad development that the people involved in this gruesome ******* of the IBA director general will be brought to book,” Thabo Kawana, the top civil ******** in Zambia’s information ministry, told journalists.

Mr Muleya took over at the IBA in May from a veteran journalist who had headed the authority for 10 years.

He was previously the general manager in Zambia of South ******** pay TV firm MultiChoice.

In a statement, IBA said it was “deeply saddened” by the ****** and would continue to uphold the value and vision that Mr Muleya championed during his brief tenure.
