Opposition figure Prince Epenge, a member of ADD Congo, was arrested at N’djili International Airport in Kinshasa, according to information reported by a close associate. He was reportedly subsequently taken to the National Cyberdefense Council (CNC).
According to available information, he is being prosecuted for “spreading false rumors” in connection with statements surrounding the death of Manassé Lomboto, a militant and head of security for his party, who died following the C64 coalition march on September 15.
This arrest comes at a time when the circumstances surrounding the death of Manassé Lomboto remain a central question and investigations are reportedly still ongoing.
