However the road to Maula prison has been closed by heavy armed  police stopping everyone from driving into the prison road a development which forced the vice president to walk for about a kilometer to meet Muluzi.

Speaking to people who visited him Muluzi disclosed that he was intimidated by law enforcers on the way to Maula Prison.

He said he is being remanded awaiting to be charged.

Muluzi  was arrested on 20 March 2012 in the capital Lilongwe and charged for inciting the public to engage in violence.
