G4S Namibia says that a lawsuit filed by NAMDIA is vague and lacks sufficient detail to assess the alleged loss.

NAMDIA seeks N$314 million in damages following a diamond theft at its headquarters on January 18.

In court documents, G4S argues that the diamond marketing and sales company's claim does not provide essential information necessary for a proper defence. 

The company points out the absence of details regarding the exact number of diamonds stolen, the grades and carat sizes of the diamonds, the quality of the diamonds, the intended use of the diamonds, and the methodology used to calculate the total value of the stolen diamonds. 

G4S says that without this information, it is unable to understand the case it needs to defend against and has labelled the claim as "vague and embarrassing". 

The security company further accuses NAMDIA and its legal representatives of failing to disclose these critical details, which are necessary to assess the amount being claimed.

NAMDIA's lawsuit, filed in the Windhoek High Court, alleges that G4S breached its contractual obligations by being "grossly negligent" in its security services. 

The company claims that G4S failed to prevent the theft, despite being present at the premises during the incident. 

NAMDIA further alleges that a G4S employee, Samuel Shipanga, was complicit in the heist and has since been arrested and charged in connection with the crime.
