A YOUNG man who suspected that he was being trapped by robbers and tried to break free was allegedly stopped in his tracks and told in no uncertain terms that it was too late and his chance of escaping was zero. The incident occurred recently shortly before midnight behind the Andimba Toivo ya Toivo Senior Secondary School in Ondangwa.
It is alleged that the 24-year-old male victim got into a taxi at Niimboto complex. Another male “traveller” was picked up shortly thereafter. His destination was somewhere near the Andimba Toivo ya Toivo SS.
Sensing the danger, the victim tried to get out and take another taxi, but a “passenger” in the back seat threatened him with a knife, saying, “dude, you are not going anywhere.” The victim was also allegedly hit with a pistol on the head and was then robbed of a Samsung A32 valued at N$8,000, a cash amount of N$400, and a Tempo watch valued at N$950.
No arrests have been made so far.
