Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawi Police have arrested a Nurse working at Ntcheu District Hospital for allegedly insulting President Lazarus Chakwera. The nurse has been identified as Chidawawa Mainje aged 39.<\/p>\n

National Police Deputy Spokesperson, Harry Namwaza, has confirmed the arrest claiming Mainje insulted Chakwera using strong words through a WhatsApp forum.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn April 27, the suspect used obscene and unprintable words against the head of state,\u201d Namwaza said.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that there was debate on the WhatsApp forum regarding the current economic situation and the nurse strongly criticized Chakwera. A member of the forum took a screenshot and sent it to a politician who reported the issue to police.<\/p>\n

Officers travelled from Lilongwe to Ntcheu to arrest the nurse who has since been charged with cyber-harassment. Mainje hails from Malothi village, Traditional Authority-T\/A Mlolo in Nsanje.<\/p>\n

Last week, Police also arrested 51-year-old Dauka Manondo over a WhatsApp post in which he allegedly insulted Vera Kamtukule, Malawi\u2019s Minister of Labour.<\/p>\n
