Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) Hakainde Hichilema has been warned and caution by the Police in Lusaka.
Hichilema reported at Woodlands Police Station on Wednesday morning around 10:20 in a company of his lawyers and hundreds of his supporters who had gathered at the Police station in solidarity.
The opposition leader was questioned for an hour during which a warn and caution statement was recorded.
Police warned and cautioned Hichilema on three statements he alleged issued last week.
Hichilema is alleged to have said that he gets intelligence briefs before the President from the Zambia Security Intelligence Services commonly known as OP, that President Lungu had released 10 million dollars to desturbilise the UPND and that he had sent some people to South Africa to investigate the source of funding for UPND in the last election.
Police Spokesperson Charity Chanda Munganga said during the questioning, Hichilema decided to remain silent. She said the Police will continue with their investigations.
And one of Hichilema’s Lawyers, Jack Mwiimbu accussed the Police of being unprofessional. Mwiimbu said the Police had to wait for President Lungu for them to act on his client.
But Munganga said the Police had already started their investigations the time President Lungu made the directive.
The Police on Tuesday morning searched the UPND Headquaters, Hichilema’s Houses in Kabulonga and New Kasama. This followed a directive by President Lungu on Monday that Police probes Hichilema over his remarks that he gets intelligence briefs before the President.
HH is dull. Please lock him up for his foolishness diarrhea stinking mouth. Then he wants to be president. under 5
Cage and torture him by electrifying amabolo yakwe for 2 hours. He will then reveal OP officers who are leaking information to him.
Ndelolsha fye
HH 10 ECL 0…..
Nifuna ni funseko? Who will prosecute HH? Wont this end up as another Nolle prosequi? Especially if Nchito remains DPP. Tionako chabe!
our economy is in a mes and yet this man called lungu is wasting his time attacking innocent hh, God is watching and time is coming wen lungu will pay a full price, HH dont wory we are behind you, God bless you
Vote for HH and UPND in the next elections. What is wrong with us Zambians? All the time we keep on crying like babies when we know for sure that we can change our governance, our economic situation by using our votes. Let us next time put in power people who have been planning on how to reduce our poverty levels. Panga Family is full of less minds who can’t think about tomorrow. Right now the future of our Country is dark. Edgar Lungu has few people that he can trust and work with within his party no wonder he is busy getting people from opposition and lurkwarm people, the coward whose political side is not known. We are watching and waiting for development as Edgar lungu stand as a John the baptist to clear the way for HH, messiah for economic development which Edgar has no clue.
It is better to bring a reasonable person in power than getting a mad guy like HH who can talk any how without realising what he talking about. What he has done now is to bring all the related to in trouble than ever before and have them investigated for realising to a person not eligible. What HH has done is treasonable and no two thing about it. Our good lord knows exactly what is suppose to be done and has blessed our beloved president Edgar to preside on nation issues has an humble man of God. God bless Edgar and hiss family
HH gives Lungu sleepless nights and first he should anylesed the information and let tell is people to investigate the what is was talking about because he is just making HH now more popular than ever
Am ashamed with the Police it like now there are just been used like robot and we are no long safe in our own country because. People who should be our protectors are now been used like robots
First Edgar Lungu should have asked himself what intelligence information is. Then he should have looked at who was HH refering to when he received the intelligence infor. After that he should have investigated before harassing the man of the people. If anything Edgar Lungu should befriend HH as his mentor.
So Zambia has two state houses.Check out HH’s house at Tumfweko,the picture is there.I hear the police only spent 1hr searching,the rest of the hours were spent admiring the mansion kikikikikiki.Police kusokonezeka so.He has my vote,we hav to kickout the spirit of poverty in Zambia.
Hichjlema
, just be strong my brother. We are behind you.
He will be grilled for what he has done. He will meet the prescription of the law and if given treason that is the end this fool
So vima police are you not even ashamed that you didn’t even know where to start questioning from?
Kaili even yourselves you have no conviction that you should be doing that. In this case you are just being used like robots.
The man people thought is humble is turning into the biggest dictator ever in the history of Zambia please we are recruiting more voter for 2016 Bemba’s wake up your of is gone with Easterners
To wake up for who HH never.I would rather vote for Sakwiba Sikota than this reckless talker who can reveal and disclose a person giving him secrets.Where on this earth where a person who giving some secret information you go and report. Ai taya HH.Go Go Edgar 2016 is yours we are wining
HH has grown bane, from 17% in 2011 to 47% in 2015. His popularity among voters has grown by 30% in just 4 years, which translates to an average growth rate of 7.5% per annum. In view of the above, I am confident HH will scope the 2016 presidential elections. He will get 62% of the total votes cast followed by E Lungu at 33% and Nawakwi at 4%.
Ba Barotse you are talking bulshit
