After a pre-trial detention hearing on May 6, 2025, the ruling was made.

 Turahirwa referenced his ongoing mental health challenges in his defense, claiming they have caused impulsive behavior and poor judgment.  He additionally notified the court that he has started receiving medical and psychological treatment.

 In the hearing, Turahirwa was accused of drug trafficking by the Prosecution, who referenced his own admission during interrogation that the narcotics found on him had come from Kenya and that he had used them himself.

 Additionally, the prosecution advocated for ongoing detention on the basis of Turahirwa’s acknowledgment of possession, noting that he was discovered with cannabis, despite his disagreement regarding the amount.  At the time of his arrest, he was said by the prosecutor to have had 13 pellets in his possession.

The court, having examined the submissions and evidence, decided that remand in custody was justified.  Since April 22, 2025, Turahirwa has been held in custody.

 The fashion entrepreneur has encountered legal issues connected to drugs before.  He was taken into custody in April 2023 due to allegations of drug abuse and forgery, among others.

 During his May 2023 appearance at Nyarugenge Primary Court, he acknowledged using cannabis, and on July 15, 2023, the Nyarugenge Intermediate Court granted him bail.

 After the trial, on December 20, 2024, the court convicted him of forgery and drug use, sentencing him to three years in prison and imposing a fine of Rwf 2 million along with Rwf 20,000 in court fees.

Turahirwa has since appealed the conviction, though the appeal hearing has not yet taken place.
