Reward for Cheryl's killer upped to N$100k
The reward for information on the murder of nine-year-old Cheryl Avihe Ujaha has been increased to N$100 000.
The Namibian police initially offered a cash reward of N$30 000 for anyone who can provide information that will lead to the successful arrest and prosecution of the killer of Ujaha, whose mutilated body was found near the Staanvas circle in Khomasdal recently.
Police chief Inspector-General Sebastian Ndeitunga announced yesterday that the Ohlthaver and List (O&L) Group has pledged a significant amount of money to increase the reward to N$100 000, including funding for the establishment of a Namibian Police Force Children’s Protection Fund.
The fund will particularly cover the expenses of certain activities in this particular case and future investigations. The National Special Risk Insurance Association also pledged N$10 000 to the fund.
The Fund is established by the police and O&L will jointly manage it along with the police.
“After this investigation the fund will continue to exist to assist the police with similar investigations,” said Ndeitunga.
He re-iterated that the police will protect the identity of anyone who comes forward with helpful information.
Those with information are requested to contact the Khomas regional crime investigations coordinator Deputy Commissioner Abner Agas at 081 1242 649 or report to the nearest police station.
