In May 2003, Ntumba was forced to seek refuge at UN controlled facilities during a local bloodbath that killed more than 112 people. This incident was one of several in recent years in which Ntumba's personal safety was threatened by continued internal violence. A year earlier, in 2002, Ntumba was held hostage for a week by Hema militants in Bunia before being released unharmed. Ntumba Luaba held several positions in DRC's government such as MP, deputy minister of justice, minister of human rights, secretary general of government.
