Police in the Zambezi region tracked down three Zambian inmates who broke out of the Ngoma police holding cells. Regional police commander Andreas Shilelo reported that these three fugitives have been rearrested after a dramatic escape. Two Namibian prisoners remain on the loose and are still being hunted down.
Shilelo explained that a police officer mistakenly opened the door for the inmates, breaking standard safety protocols. He emphasized that legal consequences would follow the security breach. The police remain determined to capture the remaining two escapees who face serious charges of murder and rape.
Police spokesperson Inspector Kisco Sitali warned residents to stay alert. He advised people not to give rides to strangers and cautioned farmers against hiring workers without thoroughly checking their backgrounds. Sitali highlighted that the fugitives might seek help at isolated locations like fishing camps, cattle posts, and drinking establishments.
According to police reports, the inmates overpowered the lone officer guarding the holding cells. They used pepper spray to incapacitate him during their escape. The brazen breakout has prompted an intensive search across the region as law enforcement works to track down the remaining prisoners.
Authorities continue to search for the two missing inmates and have urged the public to report any suspicious activities. The police remain committed to recapturing the fugitives and restoring community safety. Residents are encouraged to provide information that might help locate the escaped prisoners.
