General John Numbi was invited to appear on March 17, but he did not attend. Director General Likulia’s services consider that he was not invited. According to military sources, a second invitation was sent to former President Joseph Kabila’s close friend.
According to these sources, the judges hope that the official will respond to the invitation. If it does not fail, they explain, a search message will be launched to locate him, before – if necessary – the issuance of a warrant.
General John Numbi was not seen in the country for several days. Even the staff at his private property, Beijing Farm on the outskirts of Lubumbashi, have not heard from him.
The former police chief is still the main suspect in the double murder in Kinshasa in early June 2010 of two human rights defenders, Floribert Chebeya and Fidèle Bazana. The latest confessions from two police officers who are now in exile have revived the case. To which is added a dismissal of Jacques Mugabo, arrested in mid-February, who admitted to having been exiled with other aides to Lubumbashi by the general’s care.
John Numbi’s lawyer, Master Kyungu Mwema, for his part, claims that his client has never been officially called by a judicial body.
An investigation has been launched, it may still be in the Director General’s circles. If people claim that there is any action that invites him to show up, let them wave it.
