A young man has been compelled to return a stolen motorcycle to his older brother in Nyamata Sector of Bugesera District, after it mysteriously became covered in bees.

The incident, which took place around 2:00 PM onTuesday, unfolded in Nyamata town with the young man pushing the bee-enshrouded motorcycle to the residence of Rurangirwa Wilson, also known as Salongo, a renowned traditional healer.

The backstory reveals a familial dispute: the young man had appropriated the motorcycle from his older brother over an unresolved debt of 500,000 Rwandan Francs.

In a bid to retrieve his property, the older brother sought the intervention of Salongo, leading to the extraordinary scene witnessed by the locals.

Umuhire Vicent, a neighbor, commented on the spectacle, noting that such occurrences are not unheard of in the area. He suggested that the bees’ spell, presumably cast by Salongo, is a known deterrent against theft.

The young man, at the center of this peculiar ordeal, explained his actions as a desperate measure to reclaim the owed money.

He explained, "My brother lent me his motorcycle to enjoy the ride, but then he withheld it because I wanted him first to pay me my money. So, yesterday, I saw a swarm of bees coming to my place, heading for the motorcycle in such a way that I couldn’t even manage to ride it. It seemed like everything was telling me to bring it here to Salongo."

Salongo, for his part, confirmed his involvement, stating that his actions were meant to redress the injustice reported to him. After the bees were removed from the motorcycle, he instructed the young man to return it immediately to his older brother.
