In the first arrest, 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.
