Burundi coup leaders nabbed

Three armed force officers who were a piece of a gathering that endeavored to topple Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza a couple of days earlier have been captured.

Previous Burundi Defense pastor Gen Cyrille Ndayirukiye was one of the three captured today. Yet, the general who drove the upset and made the declaration on radio, Gen Godefroid Niyombare (pictured left) has not been found.

The General had before told AFP News Agency on telephone yesterday that he and other people who plotted the coup will surrender however trusted they won’t be killed.”I trust they won’t kill us”. He said.

President Nkurunziza, who returned back to Burundi yesterday from Tanzania is relied upon to make a national address later today. Clearly, he has more individuals faithful to him in the armed force than the commanders.
