By Langton Ncube| Popular Harare prophet Gathry Chiredzero, also known as Madzibaba Gathry will spend the Christmas holiday in jail after he was yesterday denied bail on allegations of stalking President Emmerson Mnangagwa at State functions.

The self styled prophet was recently arrested at Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks.

In his bail application, Gathry said he was a Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) informer and was not in possession of a firearm when he was arrested at Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks because he had left it at the entrance.

Chiredzero also challenged the CIO officials to come and prove that his identification documents were fake.

It is the State’s case that Chiredzero positioned himself near the podium where President Mnangagwa was speaking at the swearing-in of Cabinet ministers at State House and at the renaming of King George VI Barracks to Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks while in possession of a loaded 38 Special Amadeo Rossi S.A Revolver serial number AA757095.

He was remanded in custody to December 28.
