Colonel Byabagamba, Rusagara appear in court today

Col. Tom Byabagamba and two retired army officers, Brig. Gen. Frank Rusagara and Capt. David Kabuye, will be produced before court for mention today, The New Times has learnt. The three men were arrested separately last week over suspected involvement in crimes against state security, according to Defence and Military Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Joseph Nzabamwita. “Prosecution will be presenting charges before a competent judge tomorrow (Friday),” Nzabamwita confirmed yesterday. Rusagara, previously a defence attaché in the UK and former head of a military college, was the first to be picked up on Monday last week, before subsequent investigations led to the arrest of Kabuye, a businessman, and Col. Byabagamba, who’s fresh from a peacekeeping mission in South Sudan, on Wednesday and Saturday, respectively. The army said the three are linked to the same case. The suspects are expected to appear before Nyamirambo military court in Kigali.
