Police have apprehended 11 people for allegedly unlawfully assembling at Lusaka’s National Heroes Stadium.
This is after a crowd gathered at the stadium, following disinformation circulated on social media suggesting that money would be distributed to them.
Police Spokesperson, GODFREY CHILABI says this was after reports made today around 07:30 hours that a large crowd had gathered at Gate One of the stadium.
Mr CHILABI has explained that investigations indicate that the gathering followed a deceptive social media post by an online commentator.
He has added that in the deceptive message, the commentator was encouraging members of the public to go to stadium, claiming that money would be distributed.
