Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Blantyre have arrested a hip-hop star turned politician Fredokiss in relation to his alleged involvement in financial crimes. Police spokesperson at National Headquarters in Lilongwe Peter Kalaya said the hip-hop artist , real name Penjani Kalua, has spent the night at Blantyre Police Station following his arrest on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was mentioned in one of the cases that we are investigating.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is just one of the many names that are involved. More arrests will follow. We can\u2019t mention the other names as of now,\u201d said Kalaya.<\/p>\n

Kalaya, who refused to divulge details \u2018for fear of jeopardizing investigations\u2019, said the law enforcers received a complaint and their investigations uncovered implicating evidence against Fredokis and other suspects.<\/p>\n

While indicating that police are yet to arrest at least three other people on the matter, Kalaya said Kalua will be taken to court once their investigations are complete.<\/p>\n

Kalua is a member of UTM and is one of speakers during the party\u2019s political rallies. Although he does not have a position in the party, he wields power and is influential amid reports that he is earmarked for the position of director of Youth.<\/p>\n
