United Party for National Development (UPND) youths from Lusaka Province Tuesday afternoon marched to Lusaka Central Police Station to demand for the immediate arrest of PF Chairperson for Media and Publicity, Raphael Nakacinda for allegedly defaming the President.

Mr. Nakacinda accused President Hakainde Hichilema of holding dark corner meetings with Constitutional Court Judges to coerce them to throw out a Petition by the (9) PF MPs whose seats were nullified by the High Court, recently.

Mr. Nakacinda’s sentiments have not sat well with the UPND youths around the country who have joined calls for the imminent arrest and possible prosecution of the embattled opposition figure.

Speaking to Journalists shortly after delivering a letter to the Police, Lusaka Province Youth Chairperson, Anderson Banda, charged that it was regrettable that Mr Nakacinda has decided to abuse the freedom of expression by defaming and demeaning the Head of State.

Mr Banda said it is disheartening that MR. Nakacinda could choose to spread falsehoods against the President adding that such had the potential to incite citizens to rise against the legitimate leadership of President Hichilema and to cause public discontentment towards the Judiciary.

Mr Banda has since called on the UPND youths to effect a citizens arrest on Mr Nakacinda.
