Cadet constable arrested for forging documents

OSHAKATI – A cadet constable in the Namibian Police Force was arrested for fraud, forgery and uttering on Monday in the Oshana region.

This was confirmed by Oshana police spokesperson Thomas Aiyambo on yesterday.

Aiyambo indicated that the suspect, identified as Yule Thomas Nashidhiga, is a 28-year-old man, whose arrest comes a few days before he was set to graduate alongside over a thousand other cadets at the Oshakati Independence Stadium on Monday.

According to Aiyambo, Nashidhiga was arrested at the Ruben Danger Ashipala Police Training Centre in Ondangwa and has already appeared in court, where his case was postponed to 29 August 2024.

“It is alleged that Nashidhiga submitted a forged grade 12 certificate when he successfully applied for a job in the Namibian Police Force in the Oshana region between March and June 2023,” he said.

He added that the job interview took place in June at Oshakati, after which Nashidhiga was appointed as a cadet constable.

He attended Basic Police Training at the Pius Joseph Kaundu Police Training Centre in the Omaheke region.

Aiyambo noted that during the screening and verification process of the qualifications for all the recruits by the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture, it was discovered that the suspect forged his grade 12 certificate.
