New allegations have emerged in the Okahandja shooting incident, where five men lost their lives in April 2023 in connection with an alleged planned robbery.

The men were shot and killed by the Namibian Police and the Windhoek City Police.

Magistrate Linus Samunzala has acquitted activists Michael Amushelelo and Dimbulukeni Nauyoma of all charges, citing poor quality and multiple contradictions in the evidence of state witnesses.

Amushelelo had spent close to seven months in incarceration since his arrest for independence this year.
