G40 kingpin, Prof Jonathan Moyo, says the Commander of One Presidential Guard Infantry Battalion at State House, Lt Col Samson Murombo has been suspended from duty following a shooting incident at State House earlier this week.

A young Zimbabwean soldier reportedly fired shots into the air whilst on guard duty at State House, complaining of โ€œhungerโ€ and was promptly taken into custody over the incident. He was subsequently tortured and later taken to hospital.

Writing on microblogging site Twitter on Friday, Moyo said:
