Ko hindava?” Zvikanzi, “Ndakatakura mapurisa so vanga vachinditi ndi rivhese saka ndazoenda up ndakuroverai by mistake” and I said, “It’s okay. No problem,’” DJ Ollah 7 explained what happened.
DJ Ollah 7 further described how he approached the police to seek their assistance in resolving the matter and attending to the accident scene. However, instead of helping, the police officers became offended and started shouting angrily at him.
“So pakutaura ndakati chirega ndibvunze mapurisa kuti, ‘Makadiniko mapurisa? Ko ndirikunzwa kuti mutori munomu iyi yasungwa. Motikari yangu yaroverwa. How far? Toita sei?

Hameno kuti vaizviitireiwo,” DJ Ollah 7.
Amid the chaos, a plainclothes police officer suddenly slapped handcuffs on DJ Ollah 7 without bothering to inquire about the situation. Thankfully, bystanders stepped in to explain, leading to his swift release.
