A 10-year-old girl reportedly escaped an attempted abduction in the Vergenoeg informal settlement in Okahandja over the weekend.

According to local residents, a black seven-seater vehicle with curtains, carrying four men and one woman, was involved. Witnesses allege the suspects tried to force an unknown substance into the girl's mouth, apparently to render her unconscious.

The group fled the scene before they could be apprehended.

Police Commissioner Philip Hidengwa confirmed that the incident is under investigation. Authorities have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
