Canadian authorities have arrested a 68-year-old Ottawa resident on 16 immigration-related charges after a multi-year investigation revealed he had been living in Canada under an assumed identity since 1996 while wanted by Rwandan authorities for his alleged role in the 1994 genocide.
Roland Nduwayo was taken into custody on June 22, 2026, shortly after returning to Canada from abroad. RCMP officers from the Sensitive and International Investigations unit also executed a search warrant at his residence, seizing documents and electronic devices.
