31 July 2020 anti-corruption protest convenor Jacob Ngarivhume has raised alarm over an alleged plan by the police to arrest him for yet to be known charges.

Posting on Twitter, Ngarivhume said;

“So I’m getting reports that they want to arrest me too. If I am arrested please continue to follow updates on the @31julyofficial handle.”

Ngarivhume’s alert follows another by MDC Alliance vice chairperson Job Sikhala who tweeted that he had been made aware of a plan to arrest him on charges of communicating falsehoods or undermining the police over an incident that happened along Second Street in Harare where a police officer was manhandled by the public who accused him of hitting a child while attacking a kombi loading at an undersignated point.

Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono was also arrested yesterday over the same incident with the police accusing him of communicating falsehoods after he claimed that the police had killed a child who was strapped on the mother’s back.

Chin’ono was taken to Harare Central police station and will appear in court soon.
