Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimdancehall artiste Emegy Sylvester Chizanga, popularly known as Freeman, was on Tuesday questioned by police after a picture of himself and one of the three robbers gunned down during the Chadcombe shoot-out started circulating on social media.<\/p>\n

The circulation of the picture and the shooting of the armed robbers came just a few days after Freeman released his album titled \u201cRobbery\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the picture, Freeman was with one of the armed robbers, Charles Chirara, hugging behind a parked car. Chirara was shot dead by former CID detective Joseph Nemaisa.<\/p>\n

This prompted detectives from the CID Homicide Section to contact him so that he could clarify the association.<\/p>\n

Freeman was summoned at Harare Central Police Station on Tuesday morning where he was questioned and released after a few hours.<\/p>\n

Sources close to the investigations said when he was questioned, Freeman revealed that the picture was taken sometime in 2016 and that he personally knew Chirara as a fan and voluntary show bouncer.<\/p>\n

Freeman said he was not aware that Chirara, a former soldier who used to attend his live shows and ask for photographs, was an armed robber since he did not inquire much into his fans\u2019 private lives.<\/p>\n

The Joina City hitmaker said he only learnt from the media when Chirara was gunned down at Nemaisa\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

The picture of Freeman and Chirara that has been circulating has a message which reads,<\/p>\n

Freeman HKD Boss is seen with one of the robbers who was shot and killed last week at a house in Chadcombe.<\/p>\n

Is it by coincidence that he hangs around with robbers and his album is named Robbery.<\/p>\n

The three dead were identified as Brian Koga Tendere (38) of Murehwa, Charles Chirara (30) of Ushewokunze and rogue soldier Tariro Gora of 1 Commando Barracks, Harare.<\/p>\n

Those arrested by CID Homicide are former constable Francis Takura (33) and a soldier Private Virimai Nyandoro (37) and the informer, Tanaka Shine Nyamunga (21).<\/p>\n
