{{Police in Nyamagabe district have arrested a group of four men suspected of selling illicit brew popularly known as ibikwangari. 11young men were also captured in connection with involvement in drug abuse and gambling.}}<\/p>\n
During the arrest police captured 640 liters of the crude liquor know to have negative side effects when consumed.<\/p>\n
One of the victims narrated, \u201cAfter taking a couple of bottles, I immediately got blind and my legs got swollen, this isn\u2019t wine but rather poison\u201d admitted Angelina Nyirangendahimana.<\/p>\n
Joseph Ndayambaje agreed with the old blind woman that, \u201cdrunkards often lose their senses and start fighting; indeed the wine is made from a cocktail of various substances including; pineapples and some chemicals used to preserve human corpses\u201d.<\/p>\n
Joseph Kanuni the executive secretary of Kabirizi sector admitted that the center is known for cases of prostitution, drug abuse, sexual assaults towards women.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re drinking harmful substances. We even seized NPK-17 fertilizer suspected to be used as a catalyst in the processing of the dangerous liquor,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
However, suspects arrested blame distributors whom they claim lie to them that the substance is traditional banana wine \u2018Urwarwa\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrust us we\u2019re innocent because we normally buy the wine from people who persuade us that it\u2019s legitimate and has no effects on our health,\u201d claimed one of the suspects.<\/p>\n
According to a communiqu\u00e9 from the police, measures will be enhanced to verify health standards of those processing traditional brew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
