Media reports further revealed that when he went out the men who were waiting for him swiftly forced him into a vehicle which drove off to an unknown destination.<\/p>\n
The move left the crowd in shock as the doctor left his personal belongings in the church.<\/p>\n
According to highly placed sources, Dr Ruvuma is likely to be charged with \u201chuman trafficking\u201d following the arrest over 40 Rwandan refugees as they travelled from Uganda to Burundi via Tanzania.<\/p>\n
