A 21-year-old Rwandan national, Igihoa Fabiyora, was sentenced to 10 months in jail due to her involvement in a series of thefts in Kisoro District.

Fabiyora, who resides in Nyakarekare village in the Southern Province of Ruhango District in the Republic of Rwanda, had been employed in Chanika town council in Kisoro District.

On August 15, 2023, she stole Ugx 106,000 from John Damaseni and Leo Batenda Buroro’s mobile smartphone. Subsequently, she was apprehended while attempting to leave Uganda for Rwanda.

During the court proceedings, Magistrate Grade One Dismas Muchelule confirmed Fabiyora’s Rwandan nationality and acknowledged her admission of guilt regarding the thefts. Given that it was her first time appearing in court for this matter, the proceedings were relatively swift. The magistrate handed down a 10-month prison sentence to Fabiyora, along with an order to repay the stolen Ugx 106,000 after serving her sentence.
