General Nyamwasa leaves hospital on doctors’ clearance

Kigali: Doctors treating Lt. Gen. Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa have given him a clean bill of health - allowing him to return to the same home area where he almost lost his life, RNA can exclusively reveal.

Doctors at the Morningside Clinic in Northern Johannesburg discharged Gen. Kayumba at about lunch time South African time (same as Rwanda), according to sources close to the situation. The General returned to the upper-scale Melrose Arch residence, just about 10 meters drive from the hospital.

It is however not clear if the two bullets which were lodged in his body after the failed murder attempt on Saturday have been removed.

Details from the South African Police investigation suggest six people have been arrested, and a Spokesman said Monday that the investigations have reached a “sensitive” stage.

Meanwhile, The Sunday Times reported on Sunday that among those arrested in connection with the shooting is a former Rwandan soldier who may actually be known to Gen. Nyamwasa. The South African Police have not revealed the nationalities of the suspects.
