Police have today arrested political activist Bon Kalindo in Lilongwe for allegedly defying bail conditions.

According to National Police Spokesperson Peter Kalaya, the Lilongwe Magistrate Court issued the warrant of arrest for Kalindo on grounds that among others he stopped reporting to Police Regional Office as per his bail conditions.

Said Kalaya: “What Kalindo has done is a crime and we are doing our paper work before we take him to court.”



Kalindo has been arrested hours before he was to lead a protest match to Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe.

The protests were aimed at pushing for the resignation of President Lazarus Chakwera according to his friend Redson Munlo.

The self-acclaimed political activist was granted bail in January last year after being arrested on suspicion of illegally connecting electricity to his house in Area 25 in Lilongwe.
