Farai Dziva|MDC Alliance National Youth Organising Secretary and councillor for ward 4, Masvingo Urban, Godfrey Kurauone is suing the police for illegally arresting and detaining him.

Councillor Godfrey Kurauone is demanding over $2 million for malicious arrest and persecution.

Kurauone, who was facing charges of criminal nuisance and obstructing traffic, was acquitted after the state failed to prove its case in court.

The state accused the councillor of posting a video of a song in which he called for immediate removal of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

The state also alleged Kurauone burnt vehicle tyres along the Mashava-Zvamahande road disrupting the smooth flow of traffic.

He was arrested by officers from the Law and Order Section in Masvingo Town while reporting at the police provincial headquarters in fulfilment of his bail conditions for a similar case.
