He explained that, at his consulate, the person in question took the vehicles to his residence in the Naipalala neighborhood, city of Ondjiva, which constituted a crime since the resources belonged to the State and were placed at the service of the hospital institution.
He reported that a Hilux model vehicle has already been recovered, while the Land Cruiser the suspect claims to have left in a workshop for repairs, with the corporation working to locate it.

He explained that after an audio circulated on social media, given by a teacher from the aforementioned Okapale II primary school, SIC specialists carried out the necessary searches.
The investigations carried out determined that it was false news, as the alleged victim was at the residence of another friend, in the company of her alleged boyfriends.
