{{Three suspects including; a man and two women have been arrested in Ruhango cell, Gisozi sector of Gasabo district for allegedly kidnapping a man.}}<\/p>\n

Elias Nsengiyumva, V\u00e9ronise Nyirarukundo and D\u00e9nise Nikuze purportedly kidnapped Modeste Sengoga last Friday in Kabuye cell of Jabana sector and forced him to call his wife for a ransom of Rwf1 million.<\/p>\n

They are currently detained at Remera police station.<\/p>\n

Sengoga said he was apparently looking for a land to buy in the area.<\/p>\n

Police investigations indicate that the victim met Nyirarukundo and asked her if she knew any land on sale in the area. The two knew each other.<\/p>\n

She directed him to Nsengiyumva saying he\u2019s a broker of land in the area.<\/p>\n

Nyirarukundo then invited the victim to his house as they waited for Nsengiyumva\u2019s arrival; little did he know that the former had other hidden agenda.<\/p>\n

As Sengoga tried to leave, however, Nsengiyumva pulled out a knife and threatened to kill him if he didn\u2019t give them Rwf1 million.<\/p>\n

The wife, who didn\u2019t know that the husband was kidnapped, then sent Rwf500, 000 through mobile money, to his husband\u2019s phone, which was withdrawn by his captors.<\/p>\n

The wife then got suspicious and reported the matter to police after the husband kept pressurising her to send another Rwf500, 000 on top of having not returned at home the previous night.<\/p>\n

Police then launched investigations and arrested Nsengiyumva as he tried to withdraw the second portion of the money at a Tigo Cash agent in Gisozi, who disclosed his accomplices.<\/p>\n

Nyirarukundo argued that the victim owed her Rwf1 million, but could not explain what the money was for or why she used that method to get her alleged money, when asked.<\/p>\n

The victim labelled Nyirarukundo\u2019s claims as lies and that the two never had any financial deals together.<\/p>\n

Nsengiyumva, however, confessed to the crime but denied having used any harmful tool to intimidate the victim.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy task was only to force the man [Sengoga] to give the money back. Knowing whether he had borrowed the money [from Nyirarukundo] was not part of my deal,\u201d Nsengiyumva explained.<\/p>\n

Nsengiyumva told police that Nyirarukundo had paid him Rwf130,000 for the mission.<\/p>\n

Kidnapping, under article 273 of the penal code, is punishable with a prison sentence of between two and five years.<\/p>\n
