Rwandan National Police is holding six suspects in connection with human trafficking.
The suspects allegedly hoodwink their victims promising them well paying jobs abroad but actually take them to indulge in illegal activities, especially prostitution.
Rukimbira Valentine 27 and his counterpart were arrested by police while trying to take four girls to the Peoples republic of China.
Rukimbira claims that his relative living in China had requested him to find Rwandans to work in a Bar and Supermarket in China. Its thus he embarked on search for those interested in the job offer.
Other four suspects were arrested saying their victims were destined for South Korea.
“There is no other purpose for this. I didn’t know it was wrong, even now I believe I have committed no crime. Police just told me that these people are actually taken for different purpose”, Rukimbira said.
Umulisa Aline and three other victims were destined for China. She told IGIHE that due to unemployment, she could not turn down any job offered to her.
“I didn’t know Rukimbira, I got to know about him through a Friend working at UTC Mall who also told me that she was going to China to work at a supermarket and that all travel documents would be processed for me…then I agreed.”
