The perpetrator was arrested on Friday, (30/8).

As previously reported, the legendary Basura brawl broke out again on Thursday, (29/8). Two groups of people from RW 01 and RW 02 attacked each other by throwing stones and firecrackers.
The police then came to break up the brawl. However, the police who were trying to break up the brawl were instead victims of an attack with acid from the group involved in the brawl. In addition, a police officer was also the victim of a pickpocketing attack while breaking up the brawl.
The perpetrator of the acid attack on the police officer with the initials SAA alias U (21) was arrested while at his girlfriend’s house. SAA’s motive for throwing acid was so that the police would not take action against the perpetrators of the brawl.
The evidence obtained from SAA alias U was his helmet, his jacket and pants that he was wearing at the time of the incident, and a jerrycan used to hold acid that the perpetrator used to throw acid at the victim. (Bembo)
