He underwent emergency surgery but the surgeons were unable to remove the bullet which is still stuck inside his body,\u201d said Kabila\u2019s mother, Ndepunikwa Nanduda.<br \/>\n\u201cThey shot my son for nothing. He was merely taking the car, a Toyota Runx, to the garage at Oshikango and all his passengers were close relatives, including my sister and my brother,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nNanduda is accusing the police of being trigger-happy and of applying double standards.<br \/>\n\u201cPolice spokespersons in all regions are every morning on the NBC radio reporting criminal incidents in their respective regions. They report even trivial incidents. What they never report are incidents in which police officers are the culprits,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nWhen contacted for comment today, Ohangwena police spokesperson Andrew Nghiyolwa said that he was not aware of the incident that occurred last weekend.<br \/>\nHe promptly made inquiries at the Oshikango police station but came back empty-handed a few hours later.<br \/>\nApproached for comment, NamPol\u2019s Inspector General Sebastian Ndeitunga said that he, too, was not aware of the incident, but promised that he will immediately demand a full report from the Ohangwena regional police leadership.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267156\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BlackHouse728x180px.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"180\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Placido Hilukilwa A SHOOTING incident where the driver of a car was shot and seriously wounded by a police officer in the North and which was kept hidden from the Namibian Police\u2019s high command, is currently the subject of a high level investigation after it was uncovered by Informant\u00e9.
