NNP’s Director Louis Rujyerinyange confirmed he had never travelled to Philippines and that there was one of internet scams where his email was hacked into and misused.

“Since those messages started circulating, I haven’t been able to access my email,” Rujyerinyange said.

The circulating internet message says that Rugerinyanjye and his family had travelled for a short holiday in Manila,Philippines where they got robbed hence they were soliciting financial support worth 1.950 Euros which he would pay back on arrival to Rwanda.

Police Spokesperson, Supt. Theos Badege said that identifying internet hackers in Rwanda is possible though it’s a little harder when hackers do it from abroad.

Badege requested IT experts to create means to protect people’s emails and secrecy.
