He is currently detained at a police station in Harare awaiting relevant legal procedures and possible extradition to Zambia.
Banda faces charges of aggravated robbery, attempted murder and escaping from lawful custody in Zambia.
Zambia’s Home Affairs and Internal Security Minister Jack Mwiimbu confirmed the arrest during a press conference in
