The Zambia Police Service have arrested opposition Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General, Raphael Nakachinda, for the alleged offence of Seditious Practices, contrary to the Laws of Zambia.
Police Public Relations Officer, Rea Hamoonga, says the brief facts of the matter are that on August 21, 2024, Mr. Nakachinda allegedly issued a statement during a press conference, the statement, which was subsequently circulated on various social media platforms, believed to border on seditious practices.
“Mr. Nakachinda has since been detained in police custody. He is currently awaiting fulfillment of police bond conditions,” Mr. Hamoonga has said in a statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
Mr. Hamoonga reiterated Police’s commitment to upholding the law and ensuring that any actions that undermine public order and security are dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the law.
