Some concerned citizens have asked Malawi government to immediately arrest and extradite a Malawian of Rwandan origin, Vincent Banda suspected to be Vincent Murekezi a convict of the 1994 Genocide, back to Rwanda or face protests and vigils if Police fail to arrest him within 24 hours.


Speaking at a Press Conference in Lilongwe on Wednesday evening in Lilongwe, leader of the grouping, Activist, Philip Kamangira, said Murekezi is potential security risk to the country and urged the country to extradite him as a way of honouring signed protocols and treaties that regulate extradition.








Reports from investigations indicates that the suspect was issued by Malawi Government with two Malawian passports on March 10, 2016 and August 2, 2011 using the name Vincent Banda from Mbeya Tanzania and is currently having a Rwandan Passport which indicates same details which Rwandan Government name him a convict of the 1994 genocide.

The group is further calling for probe into how Murekezi whose businesses are not known in the country successfully got the passports and a licensed gun yet Malawi Police Service records shows they turned down his application for a gun.
