The Otjozondjupa police have launched an investigation into a poaching incident involving a black rhino bull that was allegedly shot and killed on a private game farm near Otjituuo in the Grootfontein district.

In an interview with Nampa on Friday, the Namibian Police Force Unit Commander for Community Affairs in the region, Inspector Maureen Mbeha, said the poaching is suspected to have happened on the farm between April 1 and May 1, 2023, as the crime scene is old and was only discovered this week.
