Zimbabwe police on Friday arrested a white farmer David Connolly from Matabeleland South, a week after the Bulawayo High Court ruled that a senior official in President Robert Mugabe's office was in contempt of court for pushing him out of his farm.
Police from Plumtree picked Connolly from Bulawayo and took him to the border town accusing him of contempt of court.
Connolly's lawyer, Josphat Tshuma, who accompanied the farmer to Plumtree, blasted the police, describing their action as "unacceptable.
Top Mugabe aide Ray Ndhlukula had been given up to last Thursday to leave Connolly's Centenary Farm in Figtree after he evicted him last year in violation of a court order.
