Kamonyi: A citizen threw a grenade at the home of his neighbor

According to local authorities, Nkuriyingoma’s actions were reportedly driven by personal disputes, as he is believed to have been seeking revenge over a suspected romantic relationship between Muganza and Nkuriyingoma’s wife.

Fortunately, the grenade explosion did not result in casualties, and while the house was damaged, no one was injured. Authorities say that the grenade exploded at the door, causing destruction but no harm to the occupants inside, who were reportedly unharmed.

Dr. Nahayo Sylvère, the Mayor of Kamonyi District, emphasized that local security forces and community leaders responded swiftly, arriving at the scene immediately after the explosion to offer support and ensure the safety of the people involved. "The safety of our citizens is our top priority. We are actively working with the community to resolve this matter, and I want to reassure the public that measures are being taken to prevent any further incidents," he stated.

In a show of solidarity, the local community has gathered to hold discussions and provide comfort to those affected. The district's leadership is working closely with both law enforcement and local groups to restore calm and ensure that justice is served. Authorities have launched a search for Nkuriyingoma, who is believed to have fled the area after the attack.

This incident underscores the importance of resolving personal disputes peacefully and the role of community cohesion in addressing challenges. As the investigation continues, Kamonyi residents remain determined to prevent violence from escalating and to foster an environment of unity and trust.
