Police in Kitwe are expected to formally charge Radio Ichengelo Station Manager Father, Frank Bwalya, who was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly inciting the public.

Kitwe District Police Commanding Officer, Daniel Siame, confirmed that Father Bwalya who spent a night in custody in Kalulushi will be charged after police record a warn and caution statement from him.

Mr. Siame alleged that Father Bwalya has in the last few days been broadcasting messages that are likely to incite people.

He alleged that Father Bwalya has broadcast messages suggesting that the October 30 election was fraudulent.

Mr. Siame said Father Bwalya has also been heard through his broadcasts saying that the government is in office illegally.
