A fortnight ago, on 10th July, a gang armed with rudimentary weapons attacked Shyogwe Sector of Muhanga District and injured people who were on night patrol.
Muhanga District mayor, Béatrice Uwamariya told IGIHE that local government and security officials will continue investigating with an aim of bringing to book all those involved in the crimes.
She said that the acts had created fears among people.
“We wouldn’t cease searching because we cannot lead people who are scared, that is why we conducted operations to arrest unrecognized people who are also suspected of being behind those acts destabilizing the security and sovereignty of the country. Some of them have accepted their role and case files have been prepared for them to be prosecuted,” she explained.
She said that among the 82 arrested, 45 accepted playing a role in the crimes.
