The shot was therefore meant to stop a fleeing suspect vehicle by deflating one of its tyres,\u201d said Ndeitunga.<br \/>\nPolice spokesperson Kaume Itumba speculated that Kabila tried to flee for a totally different reason. \u201cHe did not possess a driver\u2019s license and was carrying illegally imported YES cigarettes, but he was neither coming from the scene of the robbery nor was he involved in the robbery,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nKabila was rushed to hospital, underwent emergency surgery and was discharged days later.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-265868\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Paws-Claws728x180px.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"180\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Placido Hilukilwa A NAMIBIAN police officer who shot and seriously injured an unsuspecting driver at Oshikango in the Ohangwena Region two weeks ago, was charged with attempted murder.
