Police have refuted false claims circulating on social media suggesting that heavily armed police officers have sealed and secured the venue for the launch of the Tonse Alliance.
Police Spokesperson, RAE HAMOONGA says the reports are unsubstantiated, misleading, and intended to cause unwarranted public alarm.
Mr HAMOONGA says Police operates within the framework of transparency and accountability. 
And, Mr HAMOONGA says individuals behind the propagation of the falsehoods, including EMMANUEL MWAMBA, SEAN TEMBO and Administrator of the Patriotic Facebook page to desist from disseminating unverified and potentially inflammatory information.
Mr HAMOONGA says should their actions border on criminality by undermining public order or inciting unrest, the Zambia Police Service will not hesitate to act in accordance with the law.
In a statement released to ZNBC News today, Mr HAMOONGA said the law will address any behavior that compromises public safety or seeks to erode the trust between law enforcement and the citizens of Zambia.
