Police are currently interrogating a bodyguard of a Congolese opposition politician who was fatally shot in Kinshasa last week. Cherubin Okende, a former transport minister, was discovered dead in his car.

During a news conference, Attorney General Firmin Mvonde disclosed that the deadly gunshot was fired from within the vehicle, and investigators found the weapon beside Mr. Okende's body.

The late Cherubin Okende served as a spokesperson for an opposition party led by Moïse Katumbi, who is preparing to participate in the upcoming presidential election scheduled for December.
