MEMBE ARRESTED OVER VIDEO ALLEGING PRESIDENT HICHILEMA’S INVOLVEMENT IN EDGAR LUNGU’S BURIAL DELAY
By: Thomas Afroman Mwale
Socialist Party President Fred Membe has been arrested after being questioned at Force Headquarters over a viral video in which he allegedly made claims concerning President Hakainde Hichilema’s involvement in the prolonged delay of former President Edgar Lungu’s burial.
Dr. Membe, while appearing on a radio programme on Kwithu FM, attributed the nearly nine-month delay in former President Lungu’s burial to President Hichilema, insisting that the Head of State holds the authority to end the burial dispute.
Party spokesperson Brian Hapunda confirmed the development, stressing that Dr. Membe appeared before the Cyber Crimes Unit following a police summons linked to the video, in which he allegedly claimed that Mr. Lungu had not been buried because President Hichilema allegedly wanted his body.
Mr. Hapunda stressed that after questioning at Force Headquarters, Dr. Membe and his legal team were directed to Chilenje Police Station, where a warn-and-caution statement was recorded and a formal arrest was made.

This is complete madness by the dictator, even by his own very low standards. His insistence on accessing the dead body is the reason our beloved ECL is not yet buried. If only he were as good doing his job as he is arresting critics. What a pathetic little psychopath.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN AUGUST.

This is a wandafu opportunity for Membe to prove his allegation that HH wants the dead body for rituals. In a court of law. Not at a radio station.
We all look forward to learning about the witchcraft activities (if any) of our president.
Leave this Lunatic Congolese /Tanzanian masquerading himself as a Zambian.They got used eating free money in Zambia
Just leave the clown alone, don’t make him into what he isn’t
Of course, he needs to answer for the allegations, he’s a clown
Dr. M’membe is desperately trying to improve his political CV. Just the other day he was boasting that he is the best alternative to HH because he is academically qualified (he listed a string of his academic accomplishments) and reckons himself to be very brave.
So all this hot air is in pursuit of front page coverage and boosting his imagine as a fearless man.
I remember how, during PF days, he was made to sit on the ground together with his wife and Mr. Joseph Mwenda his then Post Newspaper editor(?) at the time police raided his home to take some printing equipment from his home. There was no show of bravery then. Dr. M’membe knows that he is in a safe environment now despite his antics.
I don’t know the charges the police will give
Dr Mmembe?
Does a question constitute an offence? It seems it’s the case in Hakainde’s Zambia.
I hear Fred asked a question…” Does he want to eat ECL’s body” , and he is arrested!.
mmmmh… Bizarre case.
If Fred Mmembe had said ” Hakainde wants to eat ECL’s body” , then it could have been an offence.. Honestly Not a question!
Do you eat Dogs? Ofcourse I can say I don’t..and we move on.
Any way let’s wait and see how our Police will handle the case.
Chances of prosecuting and getting a conviction are very low. It can’t stand in a decent court of law.
