The Namibian police are appealing to the public for assistance in locating Aron Kaimbi (15), who disappeared in the Oshikoto region last month.
The appeal was made by police national spokesperson deputy commissioner Kauna Shikwambi in a media statement issued on Tuesday, saying the teenager was last seen on 18 July at Olukonda village in the Onethindi policing area.
According to Shikwambi, Kaimbi was last seen wearing a yellow shirt, black trousers and blue slippers.
“It is further alleged that on the same day at about 20h00, Kaimbi and his friend made their way back home. However, Kaimbi remained behind while the friend decided to walk back home. Since then Kaimbi has not returned home,” she says.
The spokesperson says the Oshiwambo-speaking teenager left home with a friend to a soccer field before the two later went to shops at Onethindi.
The police say efforts by the family to trace the teenager have so far been unsuccessful.
Anyone with information on Kaimbi’s whereabouts is urged to contact Teofilus Mwandingi on 081 200 7079 or 081 293 1145, or report to the nearest police station.
