Reports have emerged that while Sixth President Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu and his wife Esther attend court proceedings at the Magistrate’s Court complex, their Lusaka residence has been surrounded by law enforcement officers from the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) and the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
The operation has caused significant attention and speculation, as the officers have reportedly camped at the former president’s house without providing clear reasons for their presence. DEC Public Relations Officer Allan Tamba, when reached for comment, could not reveal the purpose of the operation or details about why it coincided with the Lungu couple’s court appearance.
Mr. Tamba stated he was engaged in other meetings and lacked detailed information about the operation. He indicated he was awaiting further instructions from high command and could not provide a timeline for when more information would be available.
The unusual timing and nature of the operation have raised questions and concerns among the public and media. The situation remains fluid, with more details expected to emerge as the authorities clarify their actions. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
