HARARE – The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has arrested a man in connection with the leak of sexually explicit pictures of Fifi Murata, the daughter of popular Zimbabwean social media personality, Mai TT.
The man, Amir Mhaka, is reportedly detained at Highlands Police Station.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrest on Tuesday.
“Police arrested one suspect in connection with the leaking of the nude photographs of Mai TT’s daughter. Investigations are in progress and we will furnish more details tomorrow (today),” said Ass-Comm Nyathi.
Addressing the leak of the nudes last week, Mai TT said her daughter had found herself being blackmailed by a vindictive lover. It is unclear if Mhaka is the man in question.
“The way you are shocked is the same way I’m shocked because my daughter is the most quiet, intelligent, individual.
“When I counted my blessings, I counted her as well. Never have I ever held a stick to flog her because there was nothing to flog her for.
“She was the best God gave me because everything about her is just perfect.
“This is just a young lady who was in a relationship and trusted her boyfriend and after breaking up the guy leaked the pictures. I got to find out that she was under threats the whole of last year but never told me about it.
“She would pay this guy not to release until she couldn’t afford anymore. The matter is in the hands of the police and I’m sure the law will take its course.
“My daughter was wrong in trusting a boy and I don’t support such no matter if (I have) failed relationships I didn’t train my kids in that manner,” she said.
