Oshana Police Commander Sakaria Lungameni has appealed to citizens to allow law enforcement officials to carry out their duties without harassment.

Commissioner Lungameni's comments come after a video circulated on social media where an officer was seen throwing a young man in handcuffs into a police van.

It was at Gwashamba mall in Ondangwa where police were attending to a call of children who were selling goods on the street, and according to Commissioner Lungameni, 30-year-old Teofelus Nimengombe obstructed the officers while they were busy carrying out their duties.
