Christina Chihana said her husband was detained when he reported to police in accordance with his bail conditions. 'They put him into a car accompanied by two police Land- Rovers and drove off,' she said in a telephone interview.
It was not clear why or where Mr Chihana, a trade union leader, was being held.
