" Investigations are underway to establish the various responsibilities at the root of the incidents that occurred during the candidate Moïse's meeting on Tuesday, December 12, at Muanda," announced the governor of the central Kongo province, Guy Bandu.

In a statement bearing his signature, he reminds of an altercation between members of a political party organizing a motorized caravan and the security services of Moïse Katumbi who was holding his final meeting.

According to Guy Bandu, the candidate's guard used "firearms to fire warning shots during these skirmishes, thus creating a high tension among the population."

For the governor of the central Kongo, "the PNC elements, for their part, acted professionally by using tear gas to restore public order."

And he continued: "The toll from the ensuing stampede is, some injured, including one seriously. This is brigadier Olivier Basinga"
