Superintendant Emmanuel Karuranga, the Eastern Region Police Spokesperson, said all investigations indicate the grenade is one of those explosives that were plated during the genocide in 1994.
Such incidences, Police say, are very rare. A national commission had been created after the genocide to investigate, recover, collect, locate and uproot all planted explosives across the country.
The exercise stopped after it was concluded that there were no more explosives or no signs of any explosives. About 100, 000 illicit firearms and 52 tons of explosives have been destroyed in Rwanda since 2005.
