Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) on Thursday, January 29, confirmed the arrest of Fred Barafinda Sekikubo, Patrick Mazimpaka, and Japhet Nkeramihigo, who are being investigated for spreading false information that could incite disorder or unrest among the public, through various YouTube channels. The suspects are detained at RIB stations in Kimironko, Kicukiro, and Kimihurura while the investigation into the offences they are accused of continues, RIB said in a statement on Thursday night. RIB once again warns the public to refrain from using social media in ways that violate the law, and it will not tolerate anyone who uses these platforms to commit crimes, the statement reads.
