Retired Khomas regional commander and former deputy inspector general Desderius Shilunga was attacked and robbed in Windhoek on Tuesday night. The incident occurred between 23:00 and 00:00 when four suspects allegedly ambushed Shilunga as he opened the gate to his home in Pionierspark.
According to national police spokesperson Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, the suspects forced Shilunga into their vehicle and drove him to Matsitsi Road, located between Otjomuise and Goreangab Dam, where they assaulted him and stole items valued at N$75,200. The stolen goods included his Lexus car keys, bank cards, cellphone, Rolex watch, jacket, pants, sandals, and glasses. The suspects also withdrew an undisclosed amount of money from two of their bank accounts.
As of now, none of the stolen items have been recovered, and the suspects have not been arrested. Shilunga, who retired in March 2018, is well-known for his work in promoting road safety and for launching the Namibia University of Science and Technology Students Against Crime initiative.
