Police in Nchelenge district in Luapula province have arrested six people in connection with the burning of a house belonging to a presenter at a local radio station.
Confirming the development to ZANIS, Luapula Province Police Chief, Auxencio Mbewe said the six men were picked up in the early hours of today in Kenani area.
The Provincial police chief said the men have been detained to help with police investigations in the case where Philip Kambiko, a presenter at radio Luapula lost property worth millions of kwacha after unknown people burnt his house on Saturday night.
He said the men who were apprehended with the help of the community are being held at Nchelenge police station. Mr Mbewe has paid tribute to members of the public for the support they have rendered to the police in the investigation of the matter.
It is believed that Mr Kambiko’s house was burned by people who were not happy with his condemning of destructive fishing methods being used on Lake Mweru during one of his programmes.

#8 and#9. You have over reacted. If it were in the game of footbal you would get red cards for hitting back. Sure you just need to advise this DUDE, the imbecile,man lacking morals, man bent on deceipt and indeed of course not of this society. He is full COW DANG and he is suffering from FMD which is for animals-(Food and Mouth Disease)
All this nonsense came with our so called independence. In colonial days Luapula River and it lakes were never closed but patrols to stop bad fishing methods were regular and genuine.KK took power and we got the “freedom” to fish any how- even using moskito nets thus even catching baby fish. Yet all the time we have been blaming the white man for our woes. Shame on us.
THis world! why and what sense does it make to burn an innocent man`s home where he gets his comfort zone.God have mercy.
Ba bemba Che!
