It is also important to note that some Cadres that committed various offences had rushed to their Secretariat to seek refuge where Police managed to apprehend them. So far twenty two (22) Cadres have been charged and arrested for Unlawful Procession and Riotous behaviour and are currently detained in custody and will appear in Court soon.

Whilst police regret what transpired this afternoon, Police wants to take this opportunity to again sound a strong warning to all Political Cadres that political violence will not be condoned regardless of their political affiliation.
