29 suspects who were arrested on Wednesday last week for contravening Covid-19 rules in Bvumbwe are appearing before Midima Magistrate Court this morning.

Limbe police spokesperson Patrick Mussa confirmed of the development.

The suspects were arrested prior to the fracas that ensued in Bvumbwe.

Among the suspects was a 19 year old man Jobra Bokosi who died in police custody and his death sparked the riot.

Meanwhile, all police officers at Bvumbwe have been transferred.
