Police Block Nevers Mumba From Entering Vubwi

Police in Eastern Province on Sunday prevented MMD leader Nevers Mumba from entering Vubwi district in order to hold a mobilisation drive in Chipata City.

Officers said they had received instructions not to allow Dr Mumba and his delegation to enter Vubwi under any circumstances.

The MMD’s National Secretary Elizabeth Chitika said the party was “shocked” by the police’s actions.

“We had informed them in due course that we would have an indoor meeting to meet our structures here and they gave us a go-ahead. Today, we are shocked that they have blocked Dr. Mumba, who was a Republican Vice President from entering Vubwi. What law is the police using now?”, she said.
