Woman dies after being hit by Elias Musyani’s car!
Social media personality Elias Musyani is in police custody after being arrested and charged with causing death by dangerous driving in connection with a road traffic accident that claimed the life of a 48-year-old woman along Tokyo Way in Lusaka.
Police Public Relations Officer Godfrey Chilabi said the accident occurred at around 19:00 hours on Saturday and involved three motor vehicles and a pedestrian.
Preliminary investigations indicate that Musyani, 33, of Makeni Bonaventure, was driving a Toyota Vitz, registration number CAD 4556, from west to east when he allegedly lost control of the vehicle due to excessive speed. The vehicle struck a pedestrian, identified as Idah Banda, before colliding with two oncoming vehicles—a Toyota Vitz, registration number AQB 966, and a Toyota Axio, registration number BBA 8198.
Banda, 48, of Libala South, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH). Her body has since been deposited in the UTH Mortuary, where it is awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Musyani sustained minor injuries in the crash and was treated and discharged from UTH, while the drivers of the other two vehicles escaped unhurt.
Chilabi said Musyani remains in police custody after being charged with causing death by dangerous driving and is expected to appear before court.
The latest arrest comes just over a year after Musyani was convicted of cyber-related offences. In May 2025, he was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment and fined K70,000 for intentionally using his page, “Elias Musyani,” to commit cyber-related offences against Kidist, the wife of fellow social media personality Maps.
