A man, who has been in hiding over fraud related crimes, has been arrested in Kicukiro District.
Protestestere Twitegure, 31, was arrested on Friday June 26, in Nyarugunga Sector, Kamashashi Cell.
Senior Superitendent of Police (SSP) Burahinda Ntacyo, the District Police Commander (DPC) for Kicukiro, said that Twitegure was fraudulently withdrawing money from people’s mobile accounts.
“He was wanted in connection with the recent case where he allegedly fraudulently transferred Rwf800, 000 from someone’s mobile account to different other accounts including those registered in his name,” SSP Burahinda said.
He added: “He was withdrawing the money from different telecom banking agents, but the victim recently reached out to law enforcement organs and the telecommunication network to help track the prime suspect, Twitegure.”
“The telecom banking agent, where he made the last withdrawal of Rwf100, 000 was also vigilant. After completing the transaction, the agent saw Twitegure with many SIM Cards, interchanging them in his phone and disposing of others.
With the help of people, they contained Twitegure, called and handed him over to the Police in Nyarugunga.”
He thanked the agent for the vigilance and the community policing spirit to confine the suspect and handing him over to law enforcement organs.
Clause One of article 174 of the law determining offences and penalties in general in Rwanda, defines fraud as deception, obtaining another person’s property, whole or part of his/her finance by use of false names or qualifications, or offering positive promises or threats of future misfortunes.
Clause Two of the same article provides a term of imprisonment of between two and three years, and a fine of not less than Rwf3 million but not more than Rwf5 million, upon conviction.
