Africa-Press – Botswana. In the quaint village of Molepolole in Botswana, tranquility has been shattered by a frightening series of disappearances. With two individuals mysteriously gone missing, the community is reeling in shock and grief, their distress manifesting in public outrage and demonstrations. Allegations of ritual abductions are rampant, with villagers driven to extreme measures such as burning houses and a shelter at the local kgotla, a traditional court, in protest. This societal unrest underscores deep-seated concerns about the safety and security of residents.
Unsettling Disappearances
One particular case has gripped the community: the disappearance of Phenyo Jakoba, a local taxi driver. On November 9, 2023, Jakoba failed to return home from work. This sudden and unexplained absence, described as out of character by his kin, has heightened anxiety among the villagers, leaving them grappling with fear and uncertainty.
Police Response and the Quest for Justice
In response to these alarming events, the police have put forth a reward for information that could lead to the recovery of Jakoba’s missing body parts. This monetary incentive, amounting to P50,000, also extends to tips leading to the arrest of additional suspects involved in the case.
So far, the only suspect is Bakang Masole, who has alleged police brutality and abuse during the investigations. The chilling theory circulating among the locals suggests that Jakoba had lured Masole to his place with the intention of poisoning him and subsequently harvesting his body parts. Masole, however, has remained reticent about potential co-accused.
