RIB Arrests RCS Officer For Slapping Man on Street

An official from Rwanda Correctional Services (RCS) driving a government car on the evening of October 9, suddenly stopped on the street in down town Kigali, walked out and slapped a man with a giant cart carrying beverage crates.

Later the RCS official majestically with all hands in pockets walked back to his car (GR 138 E) seemingly untouchable and no one on the street dared say anything not even the victim.

It has emerged that as the RCS official did all this, someone else was filming the incident using a smart phone and a video was later posted on X and of course tagging along Rwanda Investigations Bureau (RIB).

“This man driving a GR car literally took a minute out of his day to come and SLAP that other guy with coca cola crates, just because the guy was “In his way”. With the traffic jam that was really bad in this road, How is this even acceptable? A whole slap for what?,”KB said on X.

“The officer from RCS seen in this footage was arrested while investigations continue to establish what happened to inform further actions,” Rwanda Investigations Bureau said on October 10 in response to KB’s message on X.

After RIB’s responce by arresting the RCS official to commence investigations to ascertain what had gone wrong, the X community reacted with various comments.

“If someone commits a crime and is not arrested, citizens feel powerless and such lawlessness is blamed on gov,it’s good gov is going to handle the matter,” said @Kazungu51747782.

Theos Barham a Ugandan on X said, “There alot of things I disagree with Rwanda, but what’s more important is that when it comes to keeping the law, you guys inspire me keep up the great work and setting an example for others. Imana ibampere imigisha myinshi wan. This is how it’s supposed to be done.Come to Uganda.”

Jimmy Kiberu noted with satisfaction, “Very good and swift action RIB.This is how to drive accountability in the disciplined forces.”
