The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, December 20, when DJ Toxxyk, driving at high speed, lost control of his vehicle while descending Payage Road from Kiyovu. The officer, who was standing across the road, was struck and dragged for approximately 30 meters.
RNP spokesperson ACP Boniface Rutikanga said the driver initially fled the scene but was later apprehended in Karongi District.
“He is currently held at Remera Police Station,” ACP Rutikanga stated.
Preliminary reports suggest that DJ Toxxyk may have swerved to avoid construction barriers on the road before hitting the officer.
The Rwanda National Police said the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident is ongoing.
