Ten trial-awaiting inmates escaped from the Onandjaba police holding cells in the Omusati Region on Wednesday.

No arrests have been made so far, and the police are on the ground searching for the escapees.

Eleven trail-awaiting prisoners carried out a daring midnight jailbreak at the Katima Mulilo Police station.

Three of the escapees have been re-arrested so far, while the police in the Zambezi Region have launched a manhunt for the rest.
