Chipembere, lawyer representing Chinemba confirmed of the development in an interview with one of the local daily papers in the country [Nation Newspaper].
“It’s true I have heard that news, but I have not yet seen the threat note. My partner [Lusungu Gondwe] received a phone call from police alerting that there were such threats”, he said.
The two are mentioned in a typed note of A3 size titled Replacement Killers which is in Chichewa purportedly written by people describing themselves as concerned citizens.
“Chenjezo kwa onse amene adya ndalama za mlandu wakupha munthu. Bail ya Ali Kaka Chinemba Banda iphetsa anthu osalakwa ngati awa…”, reads the note.
