Apostle Joseph Ziba says the information known to his church does not conclusively link Bishop Medram Chirwa to the alleged murder of Tathokoza Salimu. He calls for a thorough investigation and says anyone found responsible must answer for their actions, according to a church statement reported by Malawi24.

Apostle Joseph Ziba, founder of the Fountain of Victory International Church in Malawi, disputes the evidence linking Bishop Medram Chirwa to the alleged murder of Tathokoza Salimu. He says the information known to the church does not conclusively demonstrate the bishop’s involvement, according to a statement cited by Malawi24.

Joseph Ziba said Medram Chirwa told police he was in Mbwatalika, on the outskirts of Lilongwe, looking for land at the time of the incident. Three people who allegedly helped him find and buy the land confirmed they were with him during that period, the religious leader said.
