The police in the Omusati Region are in pursuit of another pastor for the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl at Okando village, in the Oshikuku Constituency.

This comes two days after a 34-year-old pastor and church owner was apprehended for allegedly raping two young women aged 19 and 24 and a girl aged 17, at Okandi village in the Etayi Constituency.

The Namibian Police Force’s Omusati Crime Investigation Coordinator, Moses Simaho, confirmed this to Nampa on Thursday, saying the alleged rapes occurred between June 2020 and September 2022, but were only reported to the police on Thursday.

‘It is alleged that the suspect had sexual intercourse with a minor several times on different occasions during the above-mentioned timeframe,’ he said.

He added that the matter was reported by the 18-year-old woman who lives with the victim.

Police investigations continue.
