Publisher of alleged “HH in coffin” image arrested

The Zambia Police Service has arrested and charged Mambwe Zimba of Libala South in Lusaka for transmitting deceptive electronic communication.

Police say the suspect was picked up during a joint operation involving other law enforcement agencies.

It is alleged that on February 22, 2026, Mr Zimba, acting as a page administrator, posted a misleading image on a Facebook page called “Zambia for All 2026,” falsely showing President Hakainde Hichilema lying in a coffin.

Deputy Police Public Relations Officer Chipo Kaitisha confirmed the arrest, saying the image was false and had the potential to mislead the public both locally and abroad.

Mr Zimba remains in police custody and is expected to appear in court soon.
