RIB Spokesperson, Dr. Thierry B. Murangira, confirmed the arrest in a brief interview with IGIHE. “It is true that Moses Turahirwa was arrested and is being investigated for drug use, as confirmed by the results of tests conducted and analyzed by experts from the Rwanda Forensic Institute (RFI).”

When asked whether the drug use could be linked to his recent behavior, which has drawn widespread criticism, Murangira said, “The amount of drugs found in his system was significant. We cannot ignore the impact that might have had on his behavior. As for the rest, the investigation is still ongoing.”

This is not the first time Turahirwa has faced drug-related charges. In 2023, he was similarly investigated but was released on provisional bail by the Nyarugenge Intermediate Court.

Moses Turahirwa, the founder and head of the fashion house Moshions has been arrested and is being investigated by RIB.
