Chibaya is the third Citizens Coalition for Change MP in police custody after Job Sikhala of Zengeza West and Godfrey Sithole of Chitungwiza North were detained last month for alleged public order offences.
Meanwhile, the ruling party recently said the CCC coordinating Secretary Chibaya led the violence in Nyatsime and implores the police to pick him for questioning.
“Chibaya coordinated the violence in Nyatsime, we hope the Zimbabwe Republic Police will soon call him for questioning,” said ZANU PF Patriots.
