Ohangwena Regional Governor Walde Ndevashiya, through his lawyers Sisa Namandje & Co., has instituted legal action against Tomas Puleinge, demanding N$250,000 in compensation, following a widely circulated audio in which Puleinge alleged that the two children of a 31-year-old woman who was killed in Eenhana by her long-term boyfriend over the weekend were fathered by Ndevashiya.

The Governor also requested that Puleinge retract his defamatory statement no later than 19:00 this evening, Monday.
