'Cops never went to America', says 'Baba Jukwa'

SUNDAY Mail editor Edmund Kudzayi has quashed claims by a Harare Court that cops had visited America to meet Social Media companies Google and Facebook to get evidence that will be used in his trial for charges of attempting to subvert a constitutionally elected government through Facebook.

On Monday this week, Kudzayi's application to be removed from remand was dismissed by a Harare magistrate on the basis that police were carrying out extra-territorial investigations in the United States.

But Kudzayi challenged Makedenge to produce his passport to prove that he had left for the US to investigate the case.

"If he is not lying, then let him produce his passport. I know he will never produce that passport," Kudzayi said.

A US embassy official also declined to say if Makedenge had been issued with a visa to travel to the US insisting such information was confidential.

Police details could not be drawn into commenting on the matter.
