Opposition Patriotic Front Secretary General Raphael Nakacinda has been detained at Kabwata Police Stations in Lusaka.
Nakacinda’s lawyer Makebi Zulu has told journalists that his client has been detained after a warn and caution statement was recorded from him.
Zulu says Police allege that somewhere in 2022, Nakacinda made statement to the public which infuriated the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), accusing him of failing to obey a statutory duty by making a statement relating to the ECZ.
He says Police have since detained Nakacinda on the charge of failing to obey statutory duty when he had no duty whatsoever.
The old legacy has started again God forbid, this is what pipo used to get from east Africa. A very unusual scene like some movie. We pray nothing happens.
