The Nyamirambo Primary Court has sentenced to five years in jail a man who was arrested for impersonating Rwanda’s Defense Minister James Kabarebe on facebook.
Mugema Jacques allegedly managed to dupe some people that he was Minister Kaberebe and successfuly collected money from some with promises of attending to their issues expeditiously — which would be deposited on a mobile money account he claimed belonged to the ‘secretary’.
For the first appearance in court, Mugema admitted to all charges.
On Friday 26th June, the court ruled that Mugema is sentenced to five years in jail for the crimes he committed.
Also Mugema will pay back all the money he collected from public using a fake Facebook in the name of Defense Minister James Kabarebe.
