A growing controversy has emerged around the popular nightlife area of Kalundu, where so-called “night nurses” are allegedly fleecing government officials who engage in secret late-night encounters. According to sources familiar with the situation, several officials have reportedly fallen victim to schemes where women lure them into compromising situations before demanding money to keep the incidents private.
Residents and insiders claim the trend has become common in the busy entertainment spots around Kalundu, with some officials said to have paid large sums of money to avoid embarrassment or exposure. The incidents often occur after nightlife outings, when unsuspecting individuals are reportedly approached and later threatened with public shame if they refuse to pay.
Local leaders and members of the public have raised concern about the behavior of both the alleged extortionists and the officials involved, noting that such scandals undermine public trust in leadership. Some have called on authorities to investigate the matter and address both the exploitation and the conduct of those engaging in risky activities that expose them to blackmail.
Security officers have also urged public servants to exercise caution while socializing at night, warning that opportunistic individuals sometimes take advantage of vulnerable situations. Community leaders say tackling the issue will require both stronger law enforcement and personal responsibility from those entrusted with public service.
