Police in Lilongwe have charged musician-cum politician Penjani Kalua with a case of ‘fraud other than false pretences’ and have since released him on bail, National Police spokesperson Peter Kalaya said Sunday.

Kalua, who is popularly known by his stage name; Fredokiss, was arrested in Blantyre on Friday, September 16, 2022, following a complaint that he and his two accomplices duped and defrauded Daiton Bwanamusi of money amounting to K6.3 million.

“So far, police have managed to recover part of the money and are currently hunting for the two accomplices,” Kalaya said.

After his arrest in Blantyre, Kalua was transferred to Lilongwe on Saturday, where the trio allegedly committed the crime, and the complaint was logged.

Kalua is expected to report back at Fiscal Police Offices in Lilongwe on Monday, September 19, 2022.
