A party insider revealed  to this publication that, following the death of an MDC marshal,  Hilton Tamanjani who cloaked as a vendor around MRTH, MDC mobsters resolved to declare MRTH a ‘no go’ area for police officers and known Government security personnel.

“They even attacked a police officer (who is yet to be identified) this Saturday arguing that the police unlawfully arrested Tamanjani and assaulted him until he died in custody.

“When other police officers visited the area to clear off the hooligans, they too faced resistance from the violent hooligans and were also attacked, an incident which went chaotic at MRTH,” said the source.
