The Rwanda Investigation Bureau has arrested the organiser of the Miss Rwanda beauty pageant for alleged sexual assault.
Dieudonne Ishimwe, a famous former musician known as Prince Kid, was arrested on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old has been accused of assaulting former Miss Rwanda contestants.
Ishimwe is the head of Rwanda Inspiration Backup, the company that organises the annual Miss Rwanda contest.
His arrest comes after the resignation last week of a former Miss Rwanda as communications director after four years of working alongside Ishimwe.
The reported arrest has gone viral on social media with the hashtag #missrwanda.
Several past contestants shared their experiences on Tuesday of working with the organiser of the pageant.
While some were in shock, others said there was no truth to the allegations.
