“This investor who received his money was robbed Rwf15 million but over Rwf14 million was recovered after reporting the theft. The money kept in a bag was stolen by the driver. He was arrested after buying a house. Those who sold the house also provided testimonies,” he said.

“He was tracked and arrested attempting to escape. He was brought back and is pending further legal process,” added Dr. Murangira.

He revealed that more Rwf42 million out of Rwf56 million stolen from a trader by a houseboy were recovered recently.

After receiving his money, the investor thanked RIB for swift response and support extended to foreigners in similar circumstances.

RIB also warned people against theft lest they face the law.
