The Zambia Police has refuted the allegations circulating on social media that police have surrounded UPND President Hakainde Hichilema’s house.

Zambia Police Public Relations Officer Esther Mwaata – Katongo told ZANIS in a statement today that there is an article circulating on social media titled, “Police surround HH’s house on day of prayer” because he refused to be part of today’s declared national day of prayer and fasting.

Mrs. Katongo said the article in question was originated by day dreamers whose motive is to put the name of our Country in bad taste.

“Our institution is a busy one and it should not be dragged into unsubstantiated and cheap matters” she stated.

The PR has since urged members of the public to ignore the false information being circulated as there are no officers that have been deployed at the opposition leaders’ residence.

  2. How come I haven’t seen the alleged rumour on Social Media? I guess it’s something a ZANIS reporter made up and posed it to the Police PR officer

    • When are you going to respond to HH’s stolen votes in Kalulushi rather than focus on rumours. In case you have forgotten; Dictator Edgar Lungu and PF Information Minister Kampamba Mulenga stole the UPND Presidential votes in 2016, true to our reporting today Kampamba Mulenga has agreed to having stolen HH’s votes.
      UPND 2016 Kalulushi constituency Candidate Everisto Mwalilino sold HH’s votes at K21,000 and later on this very Candidate sold his parliamentary petition at K360,000.
      One of the witnesses who signed the HH vote selling agreement has come out in open and told the Media that HH won in Kalulushi but that the UPND parliamentary candidate connived with Kampamba Mulenga and sold the votes.
      “Kampamba Mulenga lost the elections, Mwalilino the UPND candidate won but he sold the votes…

    • Yaba,
      Provide evidence not just wild claims. UPND was reported to have said only a Tonga can take over from its founding president. That is evidence. Yaba provide evidence that votes were stolen from your Hakaivotela Humwine.

    • As Zambian Eagle has been reporting that Dictator Edgar Lungu and PF Information Minister Kampamba Mulenga stole the UPND Presidential votes in 2016, true to our reporting today Kampamba Mulenga has agreed to having stolen HH’s votes.
      UPND 2016 Kalulushi constituency Candidate Everisto Mwalilino sold HH’s votes at K21,000 and later on this very Candidate sold his parliamentary petition at K360,000.
      One of the witnesses who signed the HH vote selling agreement has come out in open and told the Media that HH won in Kalulushi but that the UPND parliamentary candidate connived with Kampamba Mulenga and sold the votes.
      “Kampamba Mulenga lost the elections, Mwalilino the UPND candidate won but he sold the votes to Kampamba including the petition, so I challenge the two to sue me if am lying…

    • Zambianobserver.com:
      “Information Minister Kampamba Mulenga informed police to seal off access to president Hichilema’s residence in an effort to prevent people from going to pray with him.
      However, they have kept a distance of about 200 meters away from the house and no one is allowed to proceed there without police clearance.”

      IF THIS STORY IS NOT TRUE, THEN ZAMBIAN MEDIA IS IN .S.H.I.T, and I can not believe how they can trump up such a story. Who can we trust??? This is unacceptable and goes beyond ethics of journalism.

  3. What’s the strategy of the upnd,can fear and rumor mongering win them an election, I really doubt, I think elections are won giving people hope for the future.
    This are failed tactics, they don’t work.

  4. @HaJayJay and at HaSpaka, There is an animal in the Bible that spoke! Its rider was going to curse the blessed and chosen of the Lord! Balaam was riding that animal! Do you know it? Sometimes, by the miracle of God an animal can talk! That animal was a donkey!

  5. WHAT EVER YOU SAY AGAINST YOUR BROTHER OR SISTER REMEMBER THE ANGELS THAT WALK WITH US HAVE RECORDED: Judgment day is coming.

  6. The successor to HH will have a very tough time to repair the turnished image of a once well balanced political party. What we have in the UPND is not different from what we hear about the remnants of dictators on earth. Most of these are in Africa. One wonders why a so called democratic party would cling to an individual who is so egocentric and dectatorial to the extent that he only see his colleagues as dictators when he (HH) is worse than a dictator. What he is doing now while in opposition is to pretend that he is good. “Ichikwanka ba chimwena kumampalanya” Next time UPND should fieled a marketable candidate, not a rich man or poor man but a Zambian befiting of wining the majority vote. Unfortunately, HH is not destined to rule our great nation.

    • HH has shown that he’s a dictator who can’t let go. I wonder what it’s that makes him think there no other people in the party that can lead. Oh no as soon as Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba takes over, the whole southern and satellite provinces would withdraw from Upnd.

  7. WHY WEDSON NYIRENDA HAS NOT YET BEEN REPLACED BY NWANKWO KANU DESPITE KANU BEIGN IN THE COUNTRY AND SIGNED MOU WITH MINISTRY OF SPORTS. FAZ IS SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY PAYING FOR ACCOMMODATION AT A NAMED SIX STAR HOTEL
