Zambian police questioned ex-President Edgar Lungu’s wife Esther over her possession of three vehicles after having earlier surrounded the couple’s house and demanded access to search it.
Police received a complaint from two women that the former first lady had “grabbed” three vehicles and a property title deed from them, according to a statement. These allegations from the police were “insulting,” her lawyer Makebi Zulu said. Esther gave her side of the story to the police and “we hope they’ve understood that she is a victim in all this,” he said in comments broadcast online.
