The government has moved to attach a multimillion-dollar residence of embattled tycoon Tribert Rujugiro Ayabatwa weeks after it took over his mall.
And now the 73-year-old tycoon, who is exiled in South Africa, fears that several of his other properties in Rwanda could be seized after the District of Kicukiro and Rwanda National Police occupied his mega mansion located in Gikondo, Kicukiro, on October 25.
