Days after the Attorney General Chikosa Silungwe penned Ministry of Homeland Security to start legal processes regarding extradition of Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary, Minister Richard Chimwendo Banda has signed the request.
Following the development, Face of Malawi can reveal that the couple can be arrested once the papers are submitted to court.
Bushiri and his wife were released by Magistrate Viva Nyimba after they handed themselves over to the Police Authority when the couple learned that the Malawi Police Service has been served with warrant of arrest from South Africa days after they skipped the country.
In his ruling, Magistrate Nyimba released unconditionally the couple on the grounds that their arrest was illegal as the Homeland Minister and ministry of justice did not endorse the said arrest as required by law.
