They instructed the taxi driver to drive under their guard to the Ondangwa police station, but told him to stop near Jan Japan Motors along the Ondangwa-Ongwediva road where they told him he was cleared of any wrongdoing and that he could go, and that the station would call him to claim his money. They then disappeared with the money. Police investigations continue.
