“As the President of Mbakuwaku movement for Development I demand the arrest of a police officer who shoot to death a fitness trainer Chikondi Makawa (36years) for failing to pay for a bottle of water.

“Police ilibe mphamvu kapena ulamuliro ogwiritsa ntchito mfuti pa munthu amene alibe chida. Uyu ndi wapolice olephera kugwira ntchito yake bwino,” wrote Kuwani.

He added: “2025 mu nthawi ya MBAKUWAKU simuzamva police ikulamulidwa kuombera nzika zake pachifukwa choduka mutu ngati chimenechi.”

Meanwhile, the police officer who killed Makawa has been arrested.
