MDC Alliance organising secretary Amos Chibaya, Chiwundura Member of Parliament Livingstone Chiminya and over 100 other people were arrested over the violence that led to the looting of shops and bars in Gweru.
Chibaya was being held at Gweru Central Police Station while Chiminya was at Mkoba 1 Police Station. Both are expected in court today. Chibaya allegedly held a meeting with some civic organisations at his house where they planned the violence that rocked Gweru on Tuesday. After the meeting, Chibaya, who is the Member of Parliament for Mkoba, is alleged to have held another meeting with his party’s youths whom he instructed to embark on the violence.
Chibaya handed himself to the police in the company of his lawyer Mr Reginald Chidawanyika after learning that the police were looking for him. In an interview at Gweru Central Police Station Chibaya’s lawyer said his client was facing charges of inciting violence.
