HH Warns He Faces Arrest, Poisoning

UPND President Hakainde Hichilema (HH) has today warned that there are plans for him to be arrested and thrown into a police cell once again. According to the opposition leader, there is a scheme to poison him and then cover up his death using the current coronavirus pandemic. 

Hichilema asked how many more times the PF want to arrest him and what crime has he committed. “15 detentions, that is not enough?” he asked. 

“Only dictators do things like that. Only autocrats do things like that. Only corrupt people who have stolen people’s money do things like that,” Hichilema stated. 

Addressing the press Hichilema also took the opportunity to call out the government on other recent arrests and detentions, “We demand that the police officers who are being abused by the PF regime to arrest innocent citizens must with immediate effect stop and release former Cabinet Minister Ackson Sejani, Mazabuka and Choma Mayors Vincent Lilanda and Javen Simoloka and citizen Fines Malambo. 

He also reminded Zambians of the shootings of innocent citizens that took place in December 2020. 

“We cannot forget Nsama Nsama, we can’t forget Joseph Kaunda, who were assassinated by the PF regime in cold blood in daylight,” Hichilema told media.

“The country is hurting and our people are daily becoming hopeless and instead of providing them with food, the PF's obsession is to persecute them,” the UPND leader has stated.

“God is the giver of life and we advise the PF regime to focus on solving the massive economic problems that they have caused our people,” he counselled.
