Joyce Banda demands action on Buleya Lule’s death before elections
Former president Joyce Banda (JB) has demanded the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government should release an autopsy report into the death of Buleya Lule, a key suspect in the abduction of a boy with albinism before Malawians go to polls on May 21 2019.
Banda, who is campaigning for the ticket of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) presidential candidate Lazarus Chakwera, said in Karonga during campaign meetings that government should release the autopsy report on the matter and ensure justice.
According to Association of Persons with Albinism in Malawi (Apam) president Overstone Kondowe, quoting an oral report of preliminary results from pathologists who include Dr. Charles Dzamalala, Lule was electrocuted and hit on the head with some metal bars.
Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) commissioned pathologist Dzamalala to do the autopsy .
Banda said government should bring to book “those response for the killing of Mr Buleya Lule.”
She said the nation cannot continue to see the culture of extrajudicial killings.
Lule died in police custody after he appeared in the Lilongwe Magistrate’s Court on February 21 on the first day of trial over the abduction of Goodson Makanjira, 14, from Mphanyama Village, in Traditional Authority Chilikumwendo, Dedza.
The accused, who had pleaded not guilty and was charged together with five others, is said to have been offered the abducted boy by two of the fellow accused, including Makanjira’s step-father, for a price of K800 000.
MHRC said it is conducting a special inquiry into Lule’s death and will quiz people conntected that include police officers at Lilongwe Police Station, where Lule was in remand before he died, and Mitundu Police Station, where he was briefly kept after arrest, relatives and other key witnesses.
Lule had been among six men who were arrested in connection with the abduction.
The others are Kumbilani Patson, 51, the first accused, Sainani Kalekeni, 44, the second accused; Lukas Kagomo, 36, the third accused; Katiya Mizeck, 42, the fourth accused; Lule, 44, the fifth accused; and Wiskes Gana, 58, the sixth accused.

Joyce Banda must be arrested, period. Cashgate is evil, stealing from the poor is evil. I had decided to vote for MCP but with PP and Joyce Banda lurking in the shadows, l for one will not vote for MCP. Right now we have abandoned all the bona-fide MCP members and embraced the whole PP crap into the leadership. MCP has been captured by PP.
Just keep your vote Man. The state is obliged to protect its citizens, guilty or not. If the state is involved in killing its citizens to protect the powers that be, we have a serious problem.
Remember Bingu was put there by a chair but later anawatembenukira. Let her help. But in all fairness, you mean in the past 5 years DPP did not go through the transactions a jet to find out what happened. The way they hate JB dont u think by now they could have pounced on her. Even cashgate, if there was a single shred of evidence they could have at least charged her and released her on bail the way Bakili is doing. Why did they say there is an arrest warrant for her last week yomweyi at a press conference… Read more »
can somebody tell this woman to shut shut her fat ASS up!!
Mukuwopa kuti aulura chiyani? Why are you scared of her talking? If Buleya was your brother, would you have said this? Njauju’s children are orphans, Buleya’s children are orphans too! How about their mothers and wives?
Have you ever thought of ‘what if this had happened to you?’ Look at your children, wife(should have been married by now while you could be rotting), mother………..they could be crying day and night but no resurrection!
Do not just comment but think of what if it were you!
