Zulu disappeared in June 2023 amidst his trial where he is accused of failing to appear before an immigration office and surrender a diplomatic passport.

And when the matter came up for a return of his bench warrant before Magistrate Silvia Munyinya, one of Zulu’s sureties Munir Zulu informed the court that progress had been made to locate the former State House political advisor.

Another surety who is Chilubi Member of Parliament Mulenga Fube informed the court that he had received several phone calls from the accused.

Mr. Fube said Zulu had called him four times from the last time he appeared.

“From the last time I appeared, the accused has called me for four times, including last evening. The times that I have communicated to the arresting officer, who indicated that he had made followups, there are other factors that have to do with securing the accused, that for security reasons I would not like to indulge them in an open court. If you can find it within yourself to summon the matter in chambers,” Mr Fube said.

But the court said Fube should be talking about the steps taken to locate Mr Zulu and not details of how he was doing and the way forward. 

Hearing continues on September 22, 2023.
