RNP is at the center of implementing all the directives.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, many people have been arrested either violating the directives or in criminal acts such as drug trafficking, retailing, smuggling; drunkenness, and related unlawful acts such as assault; illegal mining, and trade of minerals, among others.<br \/>\nAlthough RNP is engaged in enforcing the directives on COVID -19, the safety of people in Rwanda and their property is the force&#8217;s overall priority. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many drug dealers, smugglers; illegal dealers in minerals, thieves have been arrested in this period.
