The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is currently searching for Wellington Jeremiah Musiiwa, also known as Nyokayemabhunu, in connection with a fraud case.

However, some observers suggest that the move may be an attempt to silence Musiiwa, a vocal critic of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, rather than a genuine criminal investigation.

Musiiwa, a well-known social media blogger, has been a strong advocate for mass protests against Mnangagwa, which are planned for March 31.

He has also been active in exposing alleged corruption within the Zanu PF government.

It is believed that Musiiwa may have fled the country, although his current whereabouts remain unclear.

ZRP PRESS STATEMENT
27TH MARCH 2025
WANTED PERSON FOR FRAUD: WELLINGTON JEREMIAH MASIWA, ALIAS NYOKAYEMABHUNU

The Zimbabwe Republic Police is appealing for information that may lead to the location and arrest of Wellington Jeremiah Masiwa, alias Nyokayemabhunu (42), from Chigwada Village, Chief Negomo, Mazowe. Masiwa is self-employed.

In June 2024, Masiwa misrepresented to the complainant that he was in partnership with several foreign investors and had the capacity to facilitate the expansion of the complainant’s mining business. Acting on this false information, the complainant paid USD $60,000 for the procurement of two tipper trucks. However, after making several unsuccessful follow-ups, the complainant became suspicious when Masiwa became evasive, prompting the complainant to file a police report.

Members of the public who have information regarding the whereabouts of Wellington Jeremiah Masiwa are urged to contact the National Complaints Desk at (0242) 703631 or via WhatsApp at 0712 800197, or report to the nearest police station.
