The Mozambican police are looking for a Rwandan soldier, named as Niyomugabo Jelard, who is wanted on charges of illegal immigration and attempted murder.According to the Criminal Investigation Police (PIC), cited in Thursday’s issue of the Maputo daily “Noticias”, Jelard was hired by a woman named Esperanca Uwingeneye to kill her husband, Gaspar Nsengimana, who is a Burundian citizen running a transport business in the northern Mozambican city of Nampula.Jelard supposedly entered Mozambique in April and passed himself off as a refugee. He was sent to the Maratane refugee centre in Namula, where he stayed for a few days in the house of Congolese citizen Ngango Shabani.But when Shabani found that his house guest had a military uniform among his belongings, he became suspicious and contacted the police. When the police searched Jelard’s belongings, they found a photograph of him in uniform and carrying a machine gun, as well as a photograph of Esperanca Uwingeneye, embracing a neighbor of Gaspar Nsengimana. There was also a note bearing the phone numbers of both Uwingeneye and Nsengimana.But by the time of the police search, Jelard had left Shabani’s house. The police are now looking for both him and Uwingeneye.Nsengimana told the “Noticias” reporter that, even before the police discovered the photographs, his son had warned him that Uwingeneye was plotting to murder him in order to obtain the fleet of buses he operates. He had no doubt that the Rwandan soldier had been hired to carry out the assassination.“In 2007 I lodged a complaint with the police, asking them to investigate reports that there was a plot to kill me”, said Nsengimana. “Unfortunately they paid no attention. Only this year have they begun to put the facts together, based on the photos they found”.
