Kwamouth: Five Mobondo Militiamen Arrested After Murder in Vanga

The FARDC arrested five Mobondo militiamen in Kwamouth, Mai-Ndombe province, on suspicion of killing a man on Saturday in Mbutie village, Vanga. Village chief Kimomo Stany Libie said the men belong to Cobra’s faction, which allegedly sent them to target customary chiefs installed by a rival faction. The five armed men were transferred to Mbakana, on the outskirts of Kinshasa.
