It\u2019s stated that Nzarasanaho delivered a gun at Mataba (Gakenke district) that was used in the brutal murder of Tutsi\u2019s in the area.<\/p>\n
However, in a lengthy interview with IGIHE, Mr. Nzarasanaho said the accusations are a pack of lies hinting that the issue concerning the gun should be addressed to Neretse Fabien that was commanding Interahamwe at Mataba during the genocide. <\/p>\n
The former senator says, several witnesses attested that the gun was supplied by Neretse at that time he brought the gun escorted by a soldier. <\/p>\n
The politician also says survivors of the Mataba massacre provided evidence that they had witnessed Neretse using the gun to kill Tutsi\u2019s in the area.<\/p>\n
