The Namibian Police Force (NamPol) in the Oshikoto Region are looking for a 14-year-old boy who went missing on 16 June after being left at home with his five-year-old sister.

According to NamPol’s Crime Investigations Coordinator for Oshikoto, Deputy Commissioner Titus Ekandjo on Monday, the two minors were left home alone at Uuyoka village in the Onayena Constituency.

‘It is alleged that Pendukeni Shilongo was left home with his sibling by his mother who went to cucashops and returned home around 22h00. She found the younger child at a neighbour’s house but Pendukeni was missing and never said anything to his sibling,’ said Ekandjo.

He added that Pendukeni took all his clothes from their sleeping room and all efforts to trace him have been unsuccessful.

‘It is alleged that some days before he went missing, he requested to go back to Onaipakolwa village in the Omusati Region where he was staying some years ago, but he never reached Onaipakolwa,’ Ekandjo reported.

Pendukeni is tall, slim and dark in comp
lexion, with short hair.
