Limbe Police in Blantyre has arrested Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Ward Councillor for Bangwe-Nthandizi ward Issac Jomo Osman.
Spokesperson for Limbe Police Station, Patrick Mussa confirmed the arrest on Monday in an interview with a local radio station.
However, Mussa failed to give more details regarding the arrest of Osman saying the police are still investigating.
The arrest came barely a day after Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera sworn in as Malawi president.
Political arrests have began to put more fear in people to pave way for the next coming of autocracy. This is the way we do business in nyasaland.
