Information confirmed by Modeste Ngendakumana, village chief at Rukoba who reports that the alleged thief was apprehended after stealing a solar plate and a battery from the home of a certain Dismas Bizindavyi.

Stealing in households and in the fields is becoming more and more worrying in certain areas of the province of Gitega.
