{Four men are in police custody in Ngoma District in connection with distilling the illicit gin commonly known as kanyanga.}<\/p>\n
They were arrested on January 28 in separate police operations conducted in the sectors of Remera and Murama.<\/p>\n
This was after residents in the area tipped-off the police, Inspector of Police (IP) Emmanuel Kayigi, police spokesperson for the Eastern region, said.<\/p>\n
He identified the suspects as Felicien Mvukiyehe, Vedaste Samvura, Emmanuel Hakizimana and Sylvestre Vatiri.<\/p>\n
\u201cHakizimana and Sylvestre were arrested red-handed in Murama after an area resident, who saw them distilling the illicit crude gin,\u201d said IP Kayigi.<\/p>\n
The duo had already distilled 35 litres of crude gin, which they were caught with.<\/p>\n
Fighting drug related crimes is among the priorities of Rwanda National Police (RNP).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best part in the fight against trafficking, sell and use of drugs is that the people have owned it themselves, and this has led to arrest of many people involved and seizure of the drugs,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, police operations on January 28 in Gicumbi and Burera districts seized contrabands that include 74 litres of kanyanga, 90 sachets of African Gin and 30 bottles of chief waragi, among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
