Chester, IDC, Felix to appear in Court on allegations of stoning a Police vehicle
MUSICIAN Moses Ng’andwe, popularly known as Chester MoPower, Felix Mangani Phiri, widely known as Felix Ndangeni Inshila, and comedian Winston Ngosa, also known as IDC Light Comedy, remain in custody in Mongu District alongside 17 other suspects following their arrest on August 5, 2026.
Lawyer for the accused, Wisdom Nyirenda, who took up the matter on August 9, says that when he joined the case, police had not yet opened dockets for the suspects, despite them already being in detention.
Mr Nyirenda says the suspects were apprehended in Kalabo, but the dockets indicate that they were arrested in Mongu. He says the group is accused of stoning a police vehicle during the incident that led to their arrest.
The lawyer says the suspects have since been formally charged with riotous behaviour and is hopeful that they will appear before the courts on August 20, 2026.
Meanwhile, filmmaker Cosmas Ng’andwe, who visited the 17 suspects in Mongu, has called on fellow artists in the creative sector to show up and support the detained artists while allowing the law to take its course.
