Extradition case to begin

    ABIDJAN

    The extradition hearing of treason suspects wanted in Namibia for their alleged involvement in the Caprivi secession conspiracy was expected to begin in a Gaborone court on Wednesday, news reports said.

    According to a report by ‘The Namibian’ the hearing of the 14 Namibians was not expected to continue immediately after their first appearance in the Gaborone Magistrate’s Court. One of the 14, Devil Moa Kabo, was also not expected to be in court as he is reportedly ill.

    The 14 are accused of offences ranging from high treason and murder to attempted murder, armed robbery and the illegal possession of arms and ammunition. They are alleged to have taken part in a plot to secede the Caprivi Region from Namibia.
