A PICTURE of Namibia’s top policeman and respected serious crime investigator, Nelius Becker, in a wheelchair is going viral after it emerged that he fell through an asbestos ceiling at the NAMDIA building.
Becker, who heads the Forensic Directorate, was searching for fugitive NAMDIA robbery suspects when he fell through the ceiling, breaking both ankles.
Renowned for his resilience in solving some of Namibia’s most serious crimes, Becker has earned a formidable reputation. He was closely associated with the Fishrot case and led the arrest teams for former ministers Sacky Shanghala and Bernhard Esau, who remain in custody facing charges of money laundering, corruption, and other offenses.
