Opposition MMD faction leader Nevers Mumba has been arrested and charged with the offense of criminal trespass.
This follows his recent storming of ZNBC offices in Lusaka where he went to complain about a new story that was aired during a 19:00hrs news bulletin.
Nevers Mumba
Dr. Mumba who by broadcast time was locked at woodlands police station was picked up this afternoon after the police conducted a search for a firearm at his Kabulonga residence.
He has been denied bond.
And speaking behind bars Dr. Mumba says he will not stop talking until the petition for the August presidential election has been heard by the Constitutional Court.
He says he is ready to go to court for this.
And opposition UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has accused President Edgar Lungu of directing the police to arrest Dr. Mumba over firearms.
He told journalists shortly after Dr. Mumba was charged and locked behind bars that it is unfortunate that the police have arrested the MMD faction leader without sending him a call out.
Mr. Hichilema also finds it unfortunate that the police had denied Dr. Mumba bond.
