He said Nibagirwa who was arrested from Rusororo sector in Kabuga village, was impersonating a Police officer.<\/p>\n
\u201cNibagirwa was at the time found extorting money from people with expired drivers\u2019 permits with a promise to renew them without due process,\u201d Supt. Hitayezu said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was found with seven driver’s permit of different people, whom she had already conned,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Iradukunda was caught red-handed passing off as a local council official, ordering the closure of shops and bars in Gako Village in Masaka sector, accusing them of breaking the law.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was posing as an official from the sector ordering shops and bars to close alleging that they were operating beyond business hours, unless they gave him money,\u201d said Supt. Hitayezu.<\/p>\n
Nibagwire and Iradukunda are currently deatined in Rusororo and Masaka police stations respectively.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson said that Nibagwire will be charged for both impersonation and extortion while Iradukunda will face charges of impersonation as stated under article 641 of the Rwandan penal code.<\/p>\n
He also said the police was able to foil the criminal actions because of the vigilance and collaboration with residents who first \u201cdemanded their identification and called the police in the process.<\/p>\n
If such criminal minds are left to roam, he said, they will undermine social values and economic growth, and called for vigilance and strengthened collaboration through information to foil such acts and apprehend suspects.<\/p>\n
