The Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) has arrested Dr. Manirakiza Benjamin, a university lecturer, over allegations of sexually abusing underage schoolgirls by luring them with money.
According to preliminary investigations, Dr. Manirakiza is accused of having engaged in sexual acts with several female students from different secondary schools in Bugesera District on various occasions.
Investigators allege that he used financial incentives and false promises to manipulate and exploit the victims.
RIB officials confirmed that the suspect is currently being held at the Rwezamenyo RIB Station while the investigation continues.
His case file has already been submitted to the National Public Prosecution Authority for further legal proceedings.
Authorities have reiterated their commitment to protecting children and urged parents, teachers, and the wider community to remain vigilant and report any form of abuse.
They emphasized that anyone found guilty of crimes against minors will face the full force of the law.
The case has sparked public concern and renewed calls for stronger measures to safeguard students, particularly girls, from sexual exploitation and abuse.
