Deputy Inspector General of NamPol, Major General Anna-Marie Nainda, has confirmed the arrest of a third suspect in connection with the violent NAMDIA robbery that occurred on January 18.

NAMDIA has dismissed claims that it intends to offer a reward to anyone who might have information leading to the successful recovery of the missing diamonds.

Diamonds worth over N$200 million remain missing following the violent robbery that rocked NAMDIA on January 18.

In a surprising twist, Namibian lawmakers are prohibited from asking questions or making statements in Parliament about the violent NAMDIA diamond robbery.

Almost three weeks have passed since Namibia's most daring and violent diamond heist at NAMDIA, yet an eerie silence hangs over the case.

Authorities have gone dark, offering no new details, and there is no word on whether the stolen gems, possibly worth hundreds of millions, have been recovered.

The Ministry of Finance and Public Enterprises has confirmed it has been briefed on the recent diamond robbery at Namib Desert Diamonds (NAMDIA) and the ongoing investigation.

The second suspect in the Namib Desert Diamonds (NAMDIA) robbery, Sam Shololo, was caught in the act of the crime, the state informed the Windhoek Magistrates Court.

NAMDIA has maintained that it will hold a press briefing on the heist only when the time is appropriate.

Spokesperson Beverley Coussement emphasized that the robbery remains under investigation and that discussing unverified details could compromise efforts to resolve the case.

Four days have passed since the most daring diamond heist at Namib Desert Diamonds (NAMDIA).

Neither the company nor the police have addressed the public through a media conference. 

Media Ombudsman John Nakuta said that NAMDIA and the police are dealing with a complex situation, which begs for accurate and verified information.

Dr. Nakuta, however, said the communication strategy of the two institutions leaves much to be desired.

Joel Angula (45), one of the suspects implicated in Saturday’s diamond heist, appeared before the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court today.

Angula faces multiple charges, including one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder, and possession of uncut rough diamonds.
