The police spokesperson in Southern Province, Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Bonaventure Karekezi said that the suspect has been arrested trying to bribe a traffic police officer to release his motorbike which was held after violating traffic rules.
“The motorcycle was seized by traffic police officers after the driver Valence Nsekanabo was found on duty without driving licence. Indeed, he carried more than one passenger with no helmet yet the motorcycle is designed to carry only two persons,” he said.
According to CIP Karekezi, the motorcycle was taken to Runda station and Nshimiyimana (owner of the motorbike) was caught red handed as he attempted to bribe traffic police officer in Kamonyi district to rescue his motorbike.
He appealed to people to respect rules and pay fines other than turning to corruption options.
“It is not good to pass through shortcuts to get mercy in case the police officer fines you for committed offenses. You should rush to pay fines because offering bribery brings many inconveniences including imprisonment and loss of money that should be used for other purposes,” he said.
Nshimiyimana Eric was handed to Rwanda Investigation Bureau.
