Emmanuel Ndayambaje is one of deportees from Nyagatare district after detention in Uganda.
He went to Uganda in June last year where he has been working as a cow keeper of Uganda’s parliamentarian called Wilberforce Yaguma in Mbarara.
On 10th January 2019 people in Uganda’s army uniform picked him from the farm and took him at the prison of Uganda’s Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) in Makindye and were moved to Mbuya in Kampala later.
Ndayambaje has told IGIHE that he was tortured accused of being on espionage mission for Rwanda.
“I was seriously beaten, on feet and knees accusing me of being Rwanda’s spy. They told me a Rwandan is cunning even when he might be quiet to the extent that an ant from Rwanda is also intelligent,” he narrated.
Ndayambaje who rejected accusations was released and advised to remain in Uganda that he would be killed upon return to Rwanda on allegations of treason. He however refused to stay.
Patrick Shingiro from Nyamagabe district was also detained in Uganda in Wakiso in February this year.
He was a taxi motorcycle rider in Rwanda but left for businesses in Uganda. He was arrested at a place where he was renting and taken to CMI barracks before he was transferred to Kireka.
