Acting President Phelekezela Mphoko on Monday stormed Bulawayo Central Police Station to intimidate top cops accusing them of being used in ZANU PF factionalism.
Mphoko was bitter that police arrested members arrest of Zanu PF of the G40 faction, who were implicated in the violence that rocked the party offices at Davis Hall in Bulawayo on Sunday, ZANU PF, Bulawayo provincial secretary for security, George Mlala said.
Mpala was with Mphoko at the station.
"From what we see, the police have taken sides in these factional wars in the party. They are not being professional, unless they have an explanation, which makes sense that is what we believe.
"I was with him (Mphoko) when he went to the police station. He did not demand to have anyone released, but only called for fair treatment of everyone because there was another side, which was now (seemingly) getting favours.
"How could they arrest people, who were in the meeting, accusing them of throwing stones, and letting those who had come to disrupt the meeting go scot-free? How does someone in a hall throw stones, getting them from where? This is what the Acting President wanted addressed." Newsday quoted him saying.
