Ndayizera was on Thursday in court for bail application hearing. He was in court with a group of 10 people co-accused of terrorism charges.
Ndayizera was represented by lawyers but most of his co-accused said they have no lawyers with others saying they don’t know what they are being accused of.
Some other lawyers representing the accused told the court they had not got enough time to talk with their clients which made them all request for the case adjournment.
The prosecution requested that when the case resumes, it should be held behind closed doors due to the gravity of charges the accused are charged with.
The judge agreed to the prosecution’s wish and ruled that the case be adjourned until December 17, this year.
Ndayizera was arrested last month with another man suspected to have handed him a dynamite that they allegedly planned to use in terrorist acts.
A resident of Muhanga District, Ndayizera denied all the charges he faces when he was presented to media, at Rwanda Investigation Bureau, (RIB) headquarters in Kimihurura, Kigali on 28th last month.
“I know nothing about those dynamites,” Ndayizera then said in front of members of the international and local media.
The Spokesperson of the Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB), Modeste Mbabazi said Ndayizera was arrested in Nyamirambo, Kigali after he had received the dynamite.
Terrorism is punished under article 19 of the antiterrorism law. It stipulates that any person who attempts, takes part or supports terrorism acts commits a crime and upon conviction, he shall be liable to a penalty of not less than 15 years of imprisonment but not more than 20 years.
