The duo were represented by Sakwiba Sikota SC, Chifumu Banda SC and Bonaventure Mutale SC, have since been detained at Lusaka Central Police.

Under the Terms of the Agreement of the talks between United Nations Secretary General’s representative and President Hakainde Hichilema, of their release, the State pledged that they will be subjected to the rule of law and the due process of the law. Following the military ra¡d at Mundubile’s home in Kabulonga, which saw the k¡lling of former Cabinet Minister of Transport and Communications, Mutotwe Kafwaya, President Hichilema accused his main challenger of allegedly forming or harbouring a militia, with intent to overthrow the Government.
