Military prosecution has asked Nyamirambo military court to extend the remand of Second Lieutenant Seyoboka Henri Jean-Claude to enable more investigations.
Seyoboka is a suspect of the 1994 genocide against Tutsi deported from Canada last year and has been on remand since 5th December 2016.
Hearing of Seyoboka’s case had been stayed following his insistence for the government to pay his defense lawyer as per the agreements reached between the government of Rwanda and.
The lead prosecutor, Mukagashugi Agnes has however insisted that Rwanda has never signed such an agreement.
Seyoboka has appeared in court with his defense lawyer, Albert Nkundabatware saying he was ready for trial.
The decision on extending remand will be read on Monday 30th January 2017.
