3/He advised him to lock the door since he was not coming back that night. He did not disclose the church or the place he was going.

The colleague reported Dr Magombeyi as abducted 12hrs after he received a text from him reporting that he had been forcibly taken by three men.

4/Police put up a highly skilled and experienced Team to investigate the case with a view to establish the whereabouts of Dr Magombeyi as well as to safeguard his well being. Public appeals for information were made on different platforms, traditional and social media.

5/On the 19th of Sept 2019 Police received a report that Dr Magombeyi had been located. They tried to call him and he answered the phone stating he was in Nyabira. Police assembled a Team to go and collect him as well as continue with the investigation over his alleged abduction.

6/They found him jovially speaking on the phone. He was lucid&coherent &gladly came with them. He was well kept&groomed indicating very good self care. It is also important to note that by this point Dr Magombeyi had lucidly grantedinterviews in three languages interchangeably.

6/Part of his version was that he was unharmed and had “generalized body pain”. During his journey to the police station he remained on his phone throughout talking to different people.

7/When he got to the police station he made a statement with the support of his 2 lawyers & his father. In his statement he said he had left home to go for a drink “with the boys”.

8/He refused to state where he was abducted at & the circumstances of his release which to this point he has not disclosed to the police.

He signed his stat to police in presence of lawyers & father. After signing the stat, he was taken by his father & lawyers 2 Avenues Clinic.

9/His father, Mr Kingstone Magombeyi, expressed concerns forhis son's security and hired a private security firm. The ZRP saw it fit to deliver on their constitutional mandate by providing their own details for Dr Magombeyi’s protection.

10/Dr Magombeyi was assessed by Govt doctors &his own private doctors &different medical specimen were obtained for further examinations.

On 24 Sept, 15 unidentified individuals tried to take out Dr Magombeyi from his hospital bed but the police were concerned for his safety.

11/ They stopped the individual awake to the fact that he was a victim of an alleged previous abduction. They called for reinforcements.

The police is keen to apprehend the alleged abductors so as to bring them to justice and protect the public.

12/They therefore sought the court’s assistance in delaying Dr Magombeyi’sdeparture to South Africa before giving the vital leads they needed to advance their investigation. It is a duty of the police to protect and gurantee the safety of all its citizens.

13/The Police will not ask for this delay beyond a sensible few more hours. By that time the other information they are waiting for is expected to have been availed.

14/The Government assures the nation that Dr Magombeyi is not being held against his will. Satisfied that his personal security is guaranteed Government will ensure that Dr Magombeyi is free to travel to a place of his choice without hindrance.
