Police in the Omusati Region are high on the heels of a local pastor from Okandi Village, in the Etayi Constituency, who is alleged to have raped three of his female congregation members, aged between 17, 19, and 24 years. 

It is alleged that the suspect, who is the pastor and owner of the church that the victims attended, raped the women on separate occasions. On February 9th, he is accused of having raped the 24-year-old; on February 16th, the 17-year-old; and on February 24th, he allegedly raped the 19-year-old woman.

The three women occasionally cleaned his room, and once in the process, the pastor would allegedly walk in and lock the doors before proceeding to rape them. 

Omusati Police regional commander Commissioner Ismael Basson is calling on members of the public to assist in tracing the man of the cloth who is believed to be in hiding.
