Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Sylvestre Twajamahoro, the Police spokesperson for the City of Kigali, said that the suspect was arrested red-handed collecting money from unwitting people.<\/p>\n
“The suspect, who was reported by concerned members of the public, was arrested in Gakoni village, Nyabugogo cell in Kigali Sector, Nyarugenge District where he was compiling a list of people, whom he made to believe that there is a Police promotion for those seeking either provisional or definitive driver’s license.<\/p>\n
Each of those who fell for his trick, paid him Rwf3000 to be put on the said list. In total, he had already collected Rwf196,900 from victims,” CIP Twajamahoro said.<\/p>\n
The suspect was handed over to RIB at Rwezamenyo station.<\/p>\n
Article 174 of the same law states that; any person who, by deception, obtains another person\u2019s property, whole or part of his\/her finance by use of false names or qualifications, or who offers positive promises or who threatens of future misfortunes, commits an offence.<\/p>\n
Upon conviction, he\/she is liable to imprisonment for a term of not less than two years and not more than three years, and a fine of not less that Rwf3 million and not more than Rwf5 million.<\/p>\n
CIP Twajamahoro appealed to those seeking a driver’s license to always go through proper channels and to report those who attempt to defraud them with “impossible promises.”<\/p>\n
“There is no such a thing like promotion in driving tests; anyone telling you that is either lying or wants to defraud you. In such circumstances, always report such people,” CIP Twajamahoro emphasized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
