The Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) has arrested retired Major General Richard Rutatina after investigating allegations that he ordered his employees to assault an individual who had stayed overnight at his house.

The victim was reportedly visiting a worker at Rutatina’s farm in Murundi Sector, Kayonza District. The incident allegedly occurred on November 27, 2024, when farm workers, acting under Rutatina’s instructions, attacked the visitor.

Medical reports from the hospital where the victim sought treatment confirm that their condition is steadily improving.

RIB has announced that the case file involving Rutatina and ten of his workers will be handed over to the Prosecution this Friday.

The Bureau has advised citizens to avoid taking justice into their own hands, as such actions are punishable by law. Instead, Rwandans are encouraged to report any grievances to the relevant authorities.

Maj Gen (Rtd) Rutatina retired from the Rwanda Defense Force in 2016, where he previously served as the Head of Military Intelligence (J2).
