The Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) has launched an investigation into allegations by a student who claims that a school administrator repeatedly forces him out of class without giving him a reason.
RIB spokesperson Dr Murangira B. Thierry confirmed the investigation while responding to a post on X by a user identified as UMUDIASPORA, who shared a video of the student appealing to the authorities for help.
In the video, the student, identified as Phanuel, claims that an administrator at G.S. Mukamira in Nyabihu District has been repeatedly mistreating him by removing him from class and separating him from his classmates, despite him not knowing what he has done wrong.
Dr Murangira said RIB had begun investigating the matter to establish the facts behind the student’s allegations.
“Phanuel’s case is already being investigated by RIB to establish the truth behind his claims,” he said.
In the video circulating on social media, the student appeals for intervention, saying he believes that an investigation would uncover an explanation for what he describes as unfair treatment, although he does not understand why he is being targeted.
He explains that, among more than 30 students in his class, he is the only one the administrator repeatedly singles out and sends away. He also alleges that the administrator once removed him from an examination.
The student says he tried to raise the matter with the school head but received no assistance. He later filed a complaint at the Mukamira RIB station, but claims that no action was taken. Instead, he was referred to the district education officer, who reportedly advised him to return to school, a response that left him dissatisfied.
