A Harare businessman has filed a police report accusing controversial preacher and socialite Passion Java and businessman Mike Chimombe of hiring over 30 thugs to attack and rob him of US$18,000 cash, leaving him for dead at the Rainbow Towers Hotel Wednesday night.
The businessman, Andrew Manongore filed the police report under Harare Central police station under IR 030777.
He also claims Chimombe pulled a gun and pointed at his guards during the attack.
“The matter was specifically reported at Harare Kopje police …which is an extension of Harare Central,” said the source.
It is alleged that over a dozen of the hired thugs attacked Manongore and also robbed him of US$18,000.
The incident is said to have been captured on CCTV.
Sources say Java is bitter with the businessman for snatching socialite Hillary Makaya from him.
Chimombe was allegedly infuriated after the businessman also labelled him broke.
Manongore is said to have sought refuge in a toilet after which he was taken to hospital for treatment together with his guards.
