FORMER Zanu-PF Mashonaland Central provincial chairman
Dickson Mafios, who was arrested soon after his release from Harare Polytechnic
quarantine centre, has been released without charge.
Mafios was arrested together with former MP for Rushinga
Wonder Mashange, both members of the opposition National Patriotic Front (NPF),
made up of largely G40 members ousted from government by President Emmerson
Mnangagwa following the November
2017 coup that toppled former President Robert Mugabe, who
died last year.
They were arrested on Wednesday soon after they were
released from a quarantine centre and taken to Braeside Police Station for questioning
over an undisclosed charge.
NPF spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire confirmed their release.
"They were released without
charge," Mawarire said yesterday.
The two went into quarantine upon returning from South
Africa. They were arrested on the same day Mafios's brother, former Local Government minister Saviour
Kasukuwere was accused by Home Affairs minister Kazembe Kazembe as among people
plotting to oust Mnangagwa.
Mafios was once convicted of border-jumping after skipping
the country during Operation Restore Legacy in November 2017 and was convicted
and sentenced to two years imprisonment.
He once accused Mnangagwa of being corrupt and controlling
mining cartels and machete gangs across the country. Newsday
