KIGALI - THE Commanding Officer (CO) of the Engineering Regiment, Lt. Col Rugigana Ngabo, has been arrested, military sources have confirmed to The New Times.

According to Military and Defence spokesperson, Lt. Col Jill Rutaremara, Rugigana, a brother to renegade General Kayumba Nyamwasa, was arrested on Friday.

"The RDF on Friday arrested Lt Col Rugigana Ngabo because of his engagement in activities related to insecurity and is currently being held by the military,” the Defence and Military Spokesperson, Lt Col, Jill Rutaremara disclosed yesterday.

But Rutaremara was quick to point out that Rugigana’s arrest had nothing to do with his relationship to Nyamwasa, but for "individual criminal liability”.
