SINSKUS Johannes, the accused in Friday’s fatal shooting incident in the Iikokola village of the Oshikoto Region, had moments before the incident complained on social media about headmen who behave “as if this country belongs to them”.

He said he wanted to go to town that day but was made to wait for the headmen for hours on end.

Moments after the incident, he went on social media again, announcing that he had committed a serious incident. “I killed one of the headmen and injured the other… I am now going to hand myself over to the police,” he said.

Johannes and the two victims — the late headman Sam Nepando and headman I-Ben Nashandi, who is also the Executive Director of the National Planning Commission — are family friends with close social ties dating from their childhood, Informante has established.

Magistrate Nelao Ya France postponed the case to 18 June to allow the accused to apply for legal aid. He was remanded in custody.
