The opponent Franck Diongo is under arrest since yesterday, Monday December 19, 2016 in the early afternoon. He was arrested at his home in the ozone district of Ngaliema commune in Kinshasa.

According to some concordant sources, this elected representative of the electoral district of Lukunga in Kinshasa appears this Tuesday, December 20, 2016 at 9 am at the Supreme Court of Justice. Difficult to tell the facts as they happened during the day. Nevertheless, the opinion remains convinced that the hearing of tomorrow will be able to deliver more details on this case. On the side of his political family, including the Rassemblement, this arrest is reported, which falls while the MP and the Rassemblement are in talks under the auspices of the National Episcopal Conference of the Congo.

Martin Fayulu Madidi, a senior member of the Dynamics of the Opposition and a member of the Council of Elders of the Rally, speaking on the radio stations of the UN Radio, denounces this arrest as arbitrary. He also pointed out that the National President of the Progressive Lumumbist Movement was arrested along with six other people.
