CHIEF Mumbi of the Nsenga people of Petauke has voiced grave concerns over the sudden disappearance of Emmanuel Jay Jay Banda, the Petauke Member of Parliament.

In a statement, Zambia Police Service spokesperson Rae Hamoonga said the vehicle, a white Toyota Land Cruiser with registration number BAX 3974ZM, was discovered by a concerned member of the public at 03:30 hours, parked 2.6 kilometers from the Twin Palm Police Station.
“Inside the vehicle, officers found two phones and a written note stating, ‘Dear Zambians am very sorry please forgive me and stay blessed Hon Jay Banda MP,” said Hamoonga.
In an emotional statement, Chief Mumbi expressed his readiness to stay up all night, anxiously awaiting any news or updates regarding Banda’s whereabouts.
“We will stay up all night waiting to get whatever news that will be availed to us,” Chief Mumbi added, reflecting the collective anxiety and hope of the people of Petauke
The traditional leader’s distress highlights the gravity of the situation and the impact it has had on the local community.
“This has greatly impacted the people of Petauke, and we want to know what is happening,” said Chief Mumbi. He emphasised his constant communication with the police, seeking any latest news on the investigations.
“My sincere appeal on behalf of the Nsenga people of Petauke is for concerted efforts to be made so that we get to know exactly the whereabouts of our son Emmanuel Jay Jay Banda.”
The police investigation continues, and the community remains on edge, hoping for the safe return of their representative.

Some of these chiefs also! He’s speaking as if Emmanuel Banda is a normal person whe he’s just a typical PF THUG that urinated into another person’s mouth, killed an ex girlfriend, beat up a police officer, etc.
Now is that the person to look for? The fella will spend the rest of his life in prison whenever he reappears. We know criminals can be useful to some chiefs and members of his family. But you should think of victims as well.
Ma rubbish, the police should not even bother looking for a stupid man like Emmanuel and Munio ya Zulu.
Chilyata you are a sick person, like all Hakainde’s Praise Thugs and Tribal Zealots.. There’s no humanity in them..The person missing is a son, a father, a brother … empathize with family mwe fipuba.
We empathise. But what do you want them to do? Its barely 24hrs since JJ went missing.
There is the note, there the phones. Its a public holiday.
Bwana you want people to stop breathing for a man who has multiple wives and others?
Lets be honest. The car is secure. So you all went to the Police station and make these statements, so what can happen? Law enforcement and investigators have a way of doing their work.
Let that happen. Its also ironic the statements reported by his wives.
Imingalato at work.
When he started to shrink democratic space, we never imagined that he meant it literally.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Ba Indigo please muletekanya. Wait for the details before accussing innocent people of committing crimes. Remember that the same MP is involved in the case of assault on a former Post Newspaper journalist who is seeking a retrial of his case because he feels there was a serious miscarriage of justice. In addition, the same Mr. Banda raided Lusaka Police station and beat up the police. All this happened during the reign of PF’s Mr. Lungu when the same gentleman was untouchable.
We are not dealing with an angel. Let us seek justice for all without looking at one’s status. This is what rule of law is all about.
Logic and reason is beyond Indigo Ba JMC.
Some people are beyond redemption. Its their way or no way.
A very mature anxiety by a responsible leader; not the quick finger pointing by opposition PF members including so called UKA. PF MPs should not interfere with police investigations . It’s not the police that took Jay Jay from his home!
Imagine the bastard was running around in the middle of the night doing what does best ….chasing pusy everywhere. Then he decides to hide himself from his crimes and the foolish UKWA psychopaths start pointing fingers at the wrong people! That’s nonsense. Govt is not the keeper of the idyots that are running away from their crimes. He is running away from justice but those cases won’t disappear and will still have to account for them whenever he comes back!
Ndine you must be so stupid and dumb ignorant. I’m sure at the rate HH and overzealous IG and the group of Tonga police officers known HH boys who have organised themselves to revenge, harm people to death , tribal and criminals in police uniforms are not stopping. The likes of Fred Meembe, Lungu, Emmanuel Mwamba, munir, Nawakwi, Dany Pule, Chisanga the MP young lady who called HH ubufi. You are on hit list don’t take changes if you can store camera in your cars or anywhere to transmit whereabouts and who you are meeting. HH is extremely dangerous, hard criminal, dictator with no thread of humanity, he is behaving like Dracula,, his appetite for destruction, abductions , torture, arresting oppositions and the fear of losing Elections in 2026 is making HH paranoid, delusional and hallucinating seeing Gary Nkombo, as his enemy within and Gary must be very care the axe will fall on you sooner than later.
This sounds like a good movie plot. Full of complete unrealistic drama and garbage. You should sell it to Hollywood.
Kikikiki….so true. They have run out movie plots that want to invent….
When a government resort to this kind of behaviour just know their time is over
What Government?
Do you know for a fact that its government that took him? Or the man like all you criminals running from the law and courts fake illness and assylum to evade and taking responisibility for the actions you took when you were in power. Prove that the government took him?
It now explains the man’s attitude towards people…he is a headman’s deliquent child who thinks status owes him….well the law has no regard for who his father is. And his father did a pretty awful job raising a child who is a coward….
