The police have finally spoken out about NBS TV journalist Samson Kasumba, who was arrested on Monday night on his way home from work.
While many commentators on various social media platforms have alleged that his arrest was due to his work as a journalist, Police says that the investigations are in no way connected to his career as a journalist.
Enanga said that the news anchor was arrested for alleged involvement in subversive activities.
“He is a subject of investigation and it is not connected in any way to journalistic work but he is being investigated together with others for alleged subversive activities,” Enanga said.
“Detectives from the electoral and political offences department have interrogated him this morning and we are going together with him to conduct search in various places of interest.”
“He is in good state and he is collaborating with authorities.”
Kasumba was arrested last night after his evening news bulletin on NBS and taken to Kira Road Police Station where he is currently detained.
However, impeccable sources have revealed to this website that a few hours ago, Kasumba was taken to his home by police detectives with intent to conduct a search as part of the ongoing investigations into the allegations lodged against him. Watch this space for details
