Dar es Salaam/Mara. “Why was he arrested?” That is the question dominating discussions among lawyers across Tanzania after their colleague, Mr Leonard Magwayega, was arrested by police in Tarime, Mara Region, shortly after defendants he was representing were acquitted.
Information about the arrest was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Tanganyika Law Society (TLS) president Boniface Mwabukusi, who cited a message sent by Magwayega following his detention.
However, Tarime Regional Police Commander Mark Njera said he had not yet received full details of the incident but promised to investigate and issue a public statement.
