OSHAKATI, 15 JUN  – The police in the Oshana Region are on the hunt for the three men who allegedly robbed a pensioner of N.dollars 20 000 near the Oluno clinic in Ondangwa on Monday.

“The other came out, sprayed the victim in the face with teargas and they pushed him out of the vehicle,” said Iimbili.
The suspects then sped away from the scene and were still at large by Thursday afternoon.
Police investigations continue.
