Oshana police rearrest one of eight dangerous prisoners
The police in Oshana region managed to rearrest one of the eight criminals who had escaped from the Ondangwa police holding cells on Sunday.
Gideon Junior Nashilongo (27) is accused of murder and defeating or obstructing the course of justice. He was found at Oshikango in the Ohangwena region on Wednesday around 06:00 after being deported from Angola.
Oshana police spokesperson Thomas Aiyambo said the suspect was formally charged and has been transported to the Omungwelume police station for the time being.
He is due to appear in court today on the latest charges.
“He will be detained at the Oluno police facility to prevent him from jeopardising the investigation,” Aiyambo said.
The other seven men that escaped through the roof of the Ondangwa police holding cells are still on the run.
They are John Pedro (22), Dinu Tjipito (20), Fernando Segunda Rosalio (21), Eliaser Michael Andreas (22), Zizee Tjipito (23), Teofelus Nauyoma (40) and Stefanus Sixa Shinedima (28).
They face charges ranging from murder, gender-based violence, rape, housebreaking and robbery.
Of the eight accused, four are Angolan nationals. Aiyambo said the police are still requesting the public's assistance to apprehend the remaining criminals.
