Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) Military Prosecution Department (MPD) has started an investigation in the alleged defilement case involving one Rwanda’s musician soldier- Sergeant Major Kabera Robert a.k.a “Sergeant Robert”.
The announcement made this Monday suggests that Sergeant Robert allegedly committed the crime on a female minor in his family.
“The crime was allegedly committed on 21 November 2020 in Ndera Sector, Gasabo district” the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said in a press statement.
