Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB), arrested Dr. Emmanuel Nibishaka as the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Rwanda Governance Board. He is accused of fraud and for using forged documents.
Nibishaka currently resides at Remera RIB Station, where his case file has been compiled for prosecution.
Thierry Murangira (RIB spokesperson) told The New Times that he was accused of stealing money from people to whom he was promising a visa help.
“On May 21, RIB arrested and detained Dr Emmanuel Nibishaka, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Rwanda Governance Board over swindling people and forged documents.
“Nibishaka is accused by different people who have testified that he took money from them with the promise to help them get visas to be able to travel to the USA,” he explained.
Murangira said that, according to witnesses, Nibishaka didn’t help these people seek visas and never refunded the money he had received from them.
When Nibishaka was asked about the number of people he had accused and the total amount they had paid, he replied that he is continuing to investigate.
Unconfirmed sources claim that Nibishaka was intercepted in a country within the region after he allegedly left Rwanda with a fake official authoritisation.
Senior civil servants need to apply for authorisation from the Prime Minster before they are allowed to travel outside the country.
