In recent operations, two civilians have been shot dead in Windhoek while another was injured in a shooting attack in Walvis Bay.

“If there is cooperation between the public and the security agencies, I can assure you that there will be no shooting incidents. So when law enforcement personnel find you and ask for your driver’s license, give it. the challenges we face, the negative reaction we get from individuals is more than the impact that occurs, “said Shikongo. The commissioner said members of the operation n ‘had no intention of beating people or handing weapons to people, as they are there to protect citizens and those visiting the country.
