Kigali: Pasteur Noel Hakizimfura – the VP in the splinter faction of PS Imberakuri is a free man after a court dismissed all charges related to the alleged arson attack on his boss Christine Mukabonane, RNA reports. Hakizimfura says he will sue the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
The Gasabo court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to link Hakizimana to the failed arson attack on May 15. However, court also ruled that Uwizeye Theophile, the confessed arsonist be jailed for 30 days as he waits for the start of his trail.
The release of Hakizimfura came following damning revelations in which several high-profile sources told RNA that he was innocent. Instead, allegations were pointing to Bernard Ntaganda, the head of another PS Imberakuri faction, who also dismissed any links.
An excited Hakizimfura said he was going to sue the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for wrongful arrest and prosecution, claiming he was targeted for his political views.
