IT seems a tune of jail has been played and former PF deputy secretary general Mumbi Phiri is dancing to it once more as police confirmed a docket of aggravated robbery has been opened against her.

This means Phiri will be behind bars for a long time before the cases dealt with by the Courts as the offence which she has been pinned down for is non bailable.
This arrest comes barely two years after the State entered a nolle prosequi, freeing the boisterous PF official from her one year stay in prison on allegations that she was behind the murder of a UPND supporter, Lawrence Banda in 2019.
“Police in Kawambwa have today January 9, 2025 formally charged and arrested Mrs. Mumbi Phiri, aged 55, for the offence of Aggravated Robbery, contrary to Section 294(1) of the Penal Code Act Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia,” said police spokesperson Rae Hamoonga.
Yesterday Hamoonga announced Phiri’s detention over the aggravated robbery that happened in Kawambwa, Luapula Province last month where she and her colleages believed to be from the Tonse Alliance are alleged to have stolen a UPND supporter’s phone and cash worth K20,000.
28 year old Boldwin Chilambikwa reported that his Infinix cellphone, valued at K3,800, and cash amounting to K20,000 were stolen by a male suspect identified only as Peter, who was allegedly following the instructions of Mumbi Phiri.
According to police reports the aggravated robbery incident happened when the PF official led a group from the Tonse Alliance to Chisheta Primary School in Kawambwa District accusing the victim and UPND officials of election malpractice.
Following investigations, Phiri was arrested after police found out that she was involved in the act which she reportedly involved others.
“On the material date, the complainant was in the company of the Minister of Green Economy and Environment, Honourable Mike Mposha MP and other UPND cadres checking on their members when they were confronted by a team from the Tonse Alliance, led by Mumbi Phiri,” Hamoonga earlier stated.
“The confrontation arose from allegations by Mumbi Phiri that the UPND team was collecting voter’s cards from members of the public in collaboration with the ECZ. Amid the confusion, another suspect Peter, other names not known, attacked the complainant with a Taser gun, causing him to fall to the ground. While incapacitated, the suspect grabbed the complainant’s cellphone and the cash, which had been provided by the Honourable Minister for fuel.”
Hamoonga disclosed that Mumbi Phiri is currently detained at Kawambwa Police Station and is awaiting her court appearance.
Meanwhile, the police spokesperson said Investigations are ongoing to apprehend her accomplice, identified only as Peter, and other individuals involved in this case.

Isolate her from peaceful community.
We don’t want such arrogant and unmannered mothers.
Start your journey to Hell once more.
She must have looked at characters near her, and she didn’t have a search warrant, Peter must be found “aba letelela Peter, ba Mai aba” too bad.These are the dangers of being hyperactive.The adrenaline stimulates quick actions that may land someone in trouble.The phone is missing and some money, obviously Peter is must help alot on the matter and even the ussage of taser gun on someone.Mob psychology brings trouble too. To isolate who did what in a group is hard, people tend to share the blame when acting together in a mob.It is very important to avoid group behaviour, she could also have learnt something from the Kaoma sagga.Within a short space of time one is connected to yet another bad case far away from her home.It sounds bad really.And for a Christian mother for that matter.
Hard to imagine she’s a married woman??
She was married but I reckon he must have divorced her because she repeatedly undressed him in public when they were enjoying loot from our treasury, saying he had a small manhood and he wasn’t man enough for her.
That’s a personal who at some time aspired to be president of the defunct PF, and by extension the President of Zambia. The true colours of PF thugs are showing. She must have a good husband.
Meant ”person”
All the sadists on this forum have their days numbered!
We should have listened to KK.
See now what this evil man is doing to our country.
We should have rejected him for a 6th time.
All the above comments are from Zambezi dwellers.
Why do you have so much hate?
What Hakainde is doing to Mumbi is just pure evil, and Zambians are not happy except a few from his own tribe, such as bloggers above.
Hskainde better make sure he stays in power forever otherwise he will swap cells with Mumbi. That 3 months he spent in jail did not teach him anything it appears.
Vote wisely in 2026.
The bottom line is that we all are supposed to be law abiding citizens.
Mumbi was arrested by the police and not by HH.
The government has since changed and the confusion we experienced under PF should not resurface. If people still think they are in power, they better think twice
The jail bird at it again.
I hope the police have a water tight case against Mrs Mumbi Phiri. Incarcerating her for months only for the DPP to enter a nolle prosequi amounts to abuse of the judicial system for political ends. Iam rather skeptical about the genuineness of this case.
We might view Mrs. Mumbi Phiri as a rabble rouser, but she needs to be treated fairly and detaining someone for months and then springing a nolle prosequi is not fair. This form of extra judicial punishment was extensively used by the PF and Ms. Siyuni as DPP. It was used on HH, Mwaliteta, Mucheleka and many others. It was totally wrong then and is still wrong even today.
Water tight?….. I hear and read she was leading the Tonse crack squad one of them armed with a Taser gun used it to paralyzed the victim stole phone and money….
Then l hear Mumbi Phiri; arrested and charged with aggravated robbery my question is: was she the one who stole or just found on the scene as commander?
It looks similar to the previous Kaoma case where again she was again found on the scene as commander.
Iliko tricky also. I see another Nolle along the way.
