Dar es Salaam Zonal Police Commander Simon Sirro told journalists that police were holding for questioning a well-known cleric, Bishop Josephat Gwajima, and business tycoon Yusuf Manji, along with several other suspects.
Both Gwajima and Manji have vigorously denied any allegations of involvement in drug trafficking and have accused Makonda of personal vendetta.
"After cooperating with the police, I will go to court to sue Makonda for defamation," Manji told journalists before reporting to the central police station on Thursday.
Similarly, Gwajima, when dismissing allegations of involvement in illicit drugs trade, accused the Dar es Salaam RC of a smear campaign.
"Makonda's intention is to tarnish my name. Law-enforcement officers know that Gwajima is not involved in drug trafficking," he told his followers before turning himself in to the police.
Gwajima and Manji have already spent several days in police detention. While Gwajima was released yesterday evening, it could not be immediately established if Manji was still in detention.
National chairman of the opposition CHADEMA party Freeman Mbowe, who was also named by Makonda in his list of persons of interest wanted by the police for questioning over drug trafficking allegations, refuted any involvement in narcotics.
Mbowe, who is also a prominent businessman and Member of Parliament, dismissed the move as political witch-hunt.
"I deny in the strongest terms any involvement in drug trafficking or abuse," Mbowe told journalists earlier this week, saying he would also sue Makonda for defamation of his character.
