Police in Rwandan are said to have shot and killed two people who defied lockdown orders imposed by the government to curb the spread of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
According to a report by Bloomberg, the two men in their twenties “attempted to tussle with officers.”
A Rwanda National Police spokesman John Bosco Kabera told Bloomberg via phone on Wednesday, March 25, 2020. Rwanda began a two-week lockdown on March 22, 2020 restricting travel between towns and cities and asking people to stay indoors.
Its measures are among the most stringent in Africa.
