She was arrested a Kigali International Airport in October 2016 as she was cought trying to smuggle 1.3 kilograms of heroin through Kigali en route to Nigeria.
During the hearings, she denied the charges arguing that she was given the bag by a Tanzanian woman and didn’t know the contents of the bag.
Reading the verdict, the presiding judge Alice Rulisa said that the court had established that Duru entered the country to wait for another person to give her the narcotics from Tanzania so that she could transport it to Nigeria.
Meanwhile the Court ruled for her to serve six years in Muhanga Prison, and pay two million Rwandan francs in fines.
