The recent arrest of Mr. Banda has become a focal point of controversy following severe allegations of public humiliation during the operation. According to statements made by Mr. Mwamba, Mr. Banda was reportedly compelled to strip naked and remove amulets he was wearing around his waist. This act allegedly occurred in full view of his neighbours, leading to strong condemnation from Mr. Mwamba who described the incident as deeply unfortunate.

Mr. Mwamba unequivocally denounced the alleged public stripping, asserting that the authorities should have handled the matter with greater discretion to spare Mr. Banda from humiliation. He explicitly stated, “It is very unfortunate that the authorities stripped him and removed the amulets around his waist in full view of his neighbours. They should have taken him inside and removed them without humiliating him the way they did.” This statement underscores a significant concern regarding the appropriate conduct of law enforcement during arrests, particularly concerning an individual's dignity and privacy.

Adding another layer to the intricate circumstances surrounding Mr. Banda's arrest, reports have surfaced claiming the discovery of a carcass and a dead python within the room where he was allegedly found hiding. These unusual details contribute to the broader narrative of the event, introducing further elements for public scrutiny and investigation.

Furthermore, Mr. Mwamba has also taken a firm stance against circulating claims involving former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu’s daughter, Tasila Lungu. He has emphatically dismissed allegations that Ms. Lungu was present with Mr. Banda during the operation, stating that those propagating such information are misleading the public. Mr. Mwamba clarified her whereabouts, insisting that Ms. Lungu was in South Africa at the time of the incident. He reiterated, “Also, let me put it on record that Tasila Lungu was nowhere near Jay Jay Banda. She is currently in South Africa. So, those saying she was found with him are lying,” seeking to quash what he views as baseless rumours.
