MDC lawyer, Thabani Mpofu will spend another night locked up at Rhodesville Police Station cells after police failed to bring him to court Tuesday but went on to file fresh charges against him.
The State had promised to bring him to court Tuesday but according to his lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa, they failed to do so but went on to add a new charge against the prominent advocate.
"They added a third charge that he connived with another lawyer to take a client from another firm, Samkange and Venturas legal practitioners and share the fees," said Mtetwa.
Meanwhile, the Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) has said it had learnt with "profound concern of the arrest and detention" of Mpofu.
"It is not clear why Advocate Mpofu has been singled out for arrest in a case where the charges allege connivance with other legal practitioners.
