The accused person informed the court that he had no help from any person in this regard since his arrest. <br \/>He was denied bail on the grounds of the public interest in the matter and the fact that investigations are in the preliminary stages.<br \/>Kalola&#8217;s aunt, Laina Nekundi said that the deceased is survived by two children and five siblings. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"352\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 640 \/ 352;\" width=\"640\" controls src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/WhatsApp-Video-2019-09-09-at-13.10.20.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>Video: Benisius Kalola&#8217;s aunt Laina Nekundi \u2013 Footage: Eba Kandovazu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">According to her, no one from the NDF or Nampol approached the family for condolences. It is still unclear when the funeral will be, but Kalola will be buried at his village Oshipumbu Shomugongo in the north. <br \/>Few days after his killing, the police came forward with information claiming that Kalola was a fugitive. <br \/>His family has rubbished the claims from the police.<br \/>&#8220;We are so disappointed in the police&#8217;s conduct. What they are doing right now is trying to cover up what they have done. We&#8217;re grieving our brother who was innocently killed. He has been living with us at home for years. If he was a criminal then why haven&#8217;t they come to the house to look for him? We know nothing about these pending cases and we&#8217;re only finding out about them from social media,&#8221; a cousin said shortly after court. <br \/>Nyambe will return to court on 29 January 2020 to allow for further investigations. <br \/>His rights to a formal bail hearing were explained.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":278320,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-278319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
