Prophet Shepherd Bushiri Says His Two Lawyers Were Unlawfully Arrested.

Self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri said the Hawks had detained his attorney Terrance Baloyi and his legal adviser Alvin Khosa for eight hours.

Bushiri, who released a statement from the Malawian capital Lilongwe on Tuesday, said the eight-hour unlawful detention included a private investigator he once hired to investigate extortion and blackmail acts against him.

Bushiri added that this was clear malice, torture, and harassment to the legal practitioners at its best”.

He revealed that he was saddened by what had happened and said it was part of a scheme by certain Hawks officers to cover up dirt he alleged reported against them.
