Kipana was arrested on January 14, 2024, in Murujanjara village within the same sub-county. His arrest followed a public outcry against him for setting up roadblocks at night and demanding bribes from locals while wearing military uniforms.
Allegedly, while Twizemana was grazing cattle, he called his two children, aged 2 and 6, to leave their mother, Veneranda Baresirente, 40, who was digging, and join him where he was grazing cattle. After the act, he sent them back to their mother.
