Kinshasa, June 09th, 2021 (CPA).- Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation (FDNT) confirms having lodged a complaint on Monday June 7th, 2021, against the authors of Lucha allegations, claiming that part of the food intended for the victims of the eruption of Nyiragongo volcano, had been hijacked by officials of the First Lady’s Foundation in Goma.
FDNT, which reserved the right to bring these defamatory accusations before the courts a few days ago, indicated that several people, not part of the Foundation, have already been arrested for their crimes and that the administrator of Rutshuru territory was also heard on Tuesday at the military prosecutor’s office.

A few minutes after this publication, FDNT denied these allegations which only aimed to tarnish the image of the Foundation and its president committed to making their contribution to the development of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
