By A Correspondent- Former Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko was Friday visited by security details at his home with the intention of effecting an arrest on him.
In the video below, the police officers can be heard telling the former VP who served under the former president Robert Mugabe that he is under arrest.
However, his family challenged the police’s bid to arrest Mphoko arguing that the police details had denied the former VP legal representation and they were trying to take him in under false circumstances.
The women in the video said:
“Gentlemen please leave. You are trespassing. You came on a convenient day. You know the law and come back when you have a warrant. You came here saying you need help and now you are saying he is arrested. Kindly leave. We can actually call the police on you again.
You refused to talk to the lawyer, you refused to speak to the lawyer. What rights are you giving him when you took away all his rights? You said it was not about him. Liers, very corrupt people. Yes, sent to do people’s vendettas.”
One of the two police details is however also heard saying:
“Mr Mphoko, you are under arrest, you have a right to remain silent..If you are not coming then we will have to take you sir. We will call for reinforcement.”
The police detail is heard saying this as he is ushered outside by one of the women in the video following a directive by the former VP for the police officers to leave his house.
