Luanshya: Fred Maanya arrested for insulting Lungu

By JOHN SAKALA
Police have arrested Fred Maanya 31, of Zaoni Street in Luanshya for Defamation of the President during a phone in program.

This occurred on March 28, this year at 06: 50 hours during a phone in program hosted by Millennium Radio Station.

Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo said Maanya is alleged to have called the radio Station where he introduced himself as Chanda from Kabwe and later used derogatory remarks on the Republican President.

Ms Katongo said investigations revealed that the suspect was not Chanda but Fred Maanya of Luanshya and not Kabwe as he suggested.

She said Maanya is currently detained in police custody and will appear in Court soon.
