Nelson Kagote Twinamatsiko, the manager of Kanungu FM who was filmed assaulting a female presenter Anita Tumuramye has finally been arrested.

Twinamatsiko is said to have assaulted Tumuramye at the radio premises on January 26, 2023.

He was picked up today following a case of assault filed by Tumuramye at Kanungu Central Police Station. In her statement, Tumuramye claims Twinamatsiko assaulted her when she demanded her commission on an advert for a school she brought for the radio station.

According to Tumuramye, she secured the school advert on January 26, 2023, worth Shillings 200,000 that was paid in cash, and was entitled to a commission of Shillings 40000 in line with the station guidelines.

She, however, said that after recording the business, Twinamatsikoto declined to release her commission. Tumuramye explained that when she tried to inquire from Twinamatsiko about her commission he slapped her on the face and she started bleeding from the nose. She said Twinamatsiko continued to drag her to the ground as he continued beating her.

Elly Maate, the Kigezi Region Police Spokesperson, says the suspect will appear before the court to answer the charges accordingly.
