Five escape from Oshakati cells
Five awaiting-trial detainees escaped from the Oshakati police station holding cells in the Oshana Region at the weekend.
The escapees were described as “very dangerous”.
They were identified as Arsandri Wendelinus, accused of rape, Theodor Sebedeus, accused of murder, Lucas Simeon, who is facing charges of murder and rape, Johannes Haihambo, facing charges of robbery and assault, and Iipinge Gustav, also known as 'Tupac', who is accused of murder.
The region's police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Thomas Aiyambo, said the five escaped after cutting open the roof of their cell.
Aiyambo said the escape was discovered early Saturday morning. The time of the escape was yet to be determined.
Aiyambo said the suspects might have fled to Omusati, Ohangwena or to Angola via Oshikango.
He called on the public to inform the nearest police station if they have information about the whereabouts of the suspects. The public should not confront the suspects, as they are regarded as dangerous.
